The House Judiciary Committee opened hearings (June 11)
on a request from the legacy news industry for exceptions in anti-trust laws
written for old legacy media. Cecilia
Kang has the New York Times story here.
Newspapers want to be able to bargain for better
prices when their stories are copies into social media.
Yet to me this sounds like a variation of the “link
tax” going into effect in the European Union as part of its Copyright
Directive.
