Status quo

Google recently agreed to pay $76 million (roughly Rs. 550 crores) to a group of 121 French news
publishers, infuriating many other local outlets, which deemed the deal unfair and opaque.

Some Spanish publishers represented by the AMI media association, such as El Mundo owner
Unidad Editorial, are in favour of maintaining the current system which gives publishers the right
to levy licensing fees through a collective management entity.

AMI general director Ramon Alonso said the model allows for a transparent and fair negotiation
with Google and others, and prevents the exclusion of some publishers.

But others, including CLABE that represents 162 associates with around a thousand news outlets
including leading digital brands such as El Espanol or Eldiario.es, say they can reach a better deal
on their own and should be free to choose.

"We are trying to ensure that these agreements bene t as many companies in the sector as
possible," said Juan Zafra, CLABE secretary general.

The Independent Regional Press Association (AIE), a founding member of AMI, said in a letter
published in all of its outlets on Monday that it had been "seriously harmed" by the existing
model, which brought no income from content and made Spain "a global digital exception".

Meanwhile, Microsoft and European media groups on Monday urged EU regulators to require
online platforms to seek arbitration in disagreements over how to share revenues with news More
publishers.
