News Google to Shut Down Spanish News Service

[clickity click]

Online search giant Google is shutting down its Google News service in Spain before a new intellectual property law is introduced.
Google will shut the service on 16 December before the law comes into effect in January, the firm said.
The law allows Spanish publications to charge services like Google News if their content is shown on the site.
But Google has argued against the ruling, saying that it makes no money from its search-based service.
"It's with real sadness that on 16 December we'll remove Spanish publishers from Google News, and close Google News in Spain," said Richard Gingras, head of Google News in a blog post on Wednesday.

Just realised I am nearly a year late with this news.
Google fucking sucks, doesn't it?

I typed into Google - Google News.

This was the first article under the inpage news. I ignored the top two results news.google.com and news.google.co.uk because I am so accustomed to them being paid ads.

Admittedly the result I clicked was BBC, not Google but they still suck.

Google sucks sometimes, but you gotta love it.
