  1. Similar approach to the NLA seeking revenue for newspapers for copying their work? Presumably as newspaper sales and advertising revenue decline, alternative income is being sought from whatever means possible. Will they also seek to stop people commenting generally on what is in the papers? Frankly as more news increasingly originates from other sources, papers being more about reflecting rather than reporting.

  2. Interesting thought – yes. The rules of the market are being established, but how that market plays out – who the winners and losers will be – is far from certain.
