Google bombards Australian search users as PR campaign intensifies

Australia should be strong on its position. A foreign, private company trying to change laws overseas? It's a clear sign it's time for that company to either leave or respect the existing laws.

Kudos to Australia. The tech industry has been ripping off the work of creatives, writers, artists, photographers and musicians for too long. The tech industry exploits them like the food industry exploits coffee growers and the retail industry exploits textile workers.

Google’s business model is a media model - essentially offering a free magazine with users/readership sold to advertisers. By monopolizing the demand side (through offering things for free/extremely low cost), the online tech industry emploits creatives by forcing them to be underpaid and usually to give their work away for free.

I hope Australia wins.

Exploitation must end.

The so called big techs surely know how to pick on small fishes, with China being their great mentor

I notice the message and links but like all "invasive" advertising I simply ignore it and do what I am there to do.

Google must pay for what it uses to generate its income.
