I am writing a little late, but this is an important milestone. You can not miss. On August 28, the British Newspaper Licensing Agency (The Newspaper Licensing Agency)
announced that it wanted to demand that everyone who uses media content on the network (full-text news aggregators, etc.) pay about 10% of their income.
Under the roof of the agency united about 1,400 publications. The cost of materials is different, the price list can be downloaded
here . The average price will be 5 pence per article for members licensed by the agency. Unlicensed will pay an average of 7.5 pence per article. Calculate the cost of a license for yourself
here .
It is not entirely clear how the agency will determine who
copies other people's content
with profit (i.e. should pay) and who
uses it honestly (i.e. should not pay). In addition, it is important to note that there is no legislative basis for the agency’s intention. Apparently, it is necessary to create a precedent or lobby for the relevant law.
