Google is already under fire because of the indexing of the content of, among other krantenwebsites in its search engine. Beneficiaries are of the opinion that Google makes money with their content and they therefore should be compensated. Google has for a long time not to want to admit, but collapsed recently, up to 60 million euros in a special fund to activities under other French newspapers to promote.
