This is not just in France but for the entire Earth. Placing links to websites does not create any liability without the valuable "snippit" allowed by BACKWARDS 17 USC §107. The link "Superbowl score 17-47" would not require any "tax" but "Superbowl score 17-47, Cowboys win." or "Superbowl score 17-47, nipples -2-." will require paying taxes to pay for usage with a license contingent on the site quoted or snippit'd.

You can see this now pending as proposed 47 USC §232 from page 14/18 from ARWD.USCOURT.gov server for $.1/pg or...
You can see this now pending as proposed 47 USC §232 from the FREE PDF on a mirror but is NOT text searchable.
It was mentioned by the Times Record as delivered to Representative Steve Womack in person on October 24, 2012.
See "Womack Meets With Constituents In Greenwood".
----------------------------------------
Text searchable HTML of 47 USC §232 Section 10 follows.
---------------------------------------------
10. The Federal Communications Commission Wire Division shall develop and oversee the licensure and rating of published content so that republication or aggregation of content would require the republishing user to accept the “REP” licensing fee disclosed along with ratings of the licensed content such that;

a) payment of the licensing fee incentivizes broad disclosure of knowledge.

b) undisclosed directory licensing fees prevent disclosure of knowledge found and exempts the data from being indexed regardless of the source of disclosure of the data location.

c) the “REP” would provide for exclusive audience controls if desired by authors.​
==============================================
In the very near future, NO INDECENCY will be allowed to be shown on wire or radio communications to the anonymous who could be children and this will end AN OBVIOUS TWENTY-YEAR MISTAKE!

Read the complaint yourself. It is plain and clear.

Neeley Jr v FCC et al, (5:12-cv-5208)
^Complaint^. . . . . . . . . ^Docket^

----------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
Regulation of internet wire communication and radio wire communication so that these are both SAFcc has been the statutory mission of the FCC since 1934! Read USC §151 from footnote #2 of the complaint or at cornell.edu.
Almost the entire domain name economy is utterly invalid.

I lost my cybersquatting complaint against NameMedia Inc but feel they were punished adequately with legal fees. Google Inc alleged to have spent half-a-million but filed in District Court having spent hundreds of thousands in order to have moral copy[rite] invalidated in the Western District of Arkansas and arguably in the entire USA.

I am not able to dedicate enough time to re-learn the hundreds of pages of CurtisRes.com software that once ran Sleep Spot during February 19, 2003. sleepspot.com. is now an utterly useless domain except in demonstrating the fact that Google Inc and Microsoft Corporation should pay for creating the porn-ternet instead of prohibiting this massive devastation of culture.
See SleepSpot.com from February 19, 2003. This is called demonstration of the "scienter" needed to justify damages.
------------------------------------------
Per page 16/18 of the Complaint now filed the following is now pending in case you think only France, Brazil. and China will thumb their nose at Google Inc. Google Inc and Microsoft Corporation have till the end of this month to reply.

13. This District Court should invalidate all usage of 17 USC §107 fair-use to violate privacy while trespassing on private computers and indexing computers uninvited and invalidate 47 USC §230 claims for excusing violations of privacy while violating all other laws.
============================================
Waiting till the sky finishes falling.

This just seems ridiculous. Google News brings a lot of visitors to websites (and in turn revenue to the websites due to adverts). If it wasn't for seeing a snippet of an article in Google News, there are a lot of news sites I would never have visited. I'm sure this is the case for other people, too.

So, not only do they want to be in Google News for free and benefit from the traffic for free (and a lot of sites are probably earning revenue through Adsense), but they also want to be paid for benefiting from a free service? I'm sure if Google News stopped including them, they would soon be regretting it. (It's not just traffic through the Google New site, but also the widget on Android, both "official" and unofficial widgets/apps.) There will always be other sites (or opportunists starting news sites) willing to provide where others won't.

Google Inc will be nothing but a bad memory of free porn by 2025.

Do you think so? Searchers/web users are voting otherwise (it's consistently the most popular search engine by far).

I would love to see more independent journalists, blogs, etc. on google news instead of the mainstream lying bullshit with their copy and pasted news.

Another stupid move by the french government, no wonder no one wants to do business in France.

Prepare for google users in France seeing more english news.

This type modification of United States law is now sought by me due to FCC malfeasance in regulating interstate and world-wide wire communications called by the slang term [sic] "internet" as if this were not simply computers replacing telegraph machines connected to wire.

5. The [sic] “internet” exists only as an imaginary construct or label for Google Inc, Microsoft Corporation, and other private databases representing individual presentations on private and public computers world-wide attached to wires using the same communications protocol. The slang constructs of [sic] “internet” and [sic] “copyright” both cause United States law to violate NATURAL human rights to freedom protected in most other nations as will not continue for another generation as can be seen by the recent Google Inc failure to export United States' fair-use to France.

I asked to be dismissed if desired by the District Court and to be ordered not to sue any dismissed party without permission.

[sic]" Neeley III " should be thrown out or set for a jury trial very soon. The Motions to dismiss from Google Inc and Microsoft Corporation have been ripe for decision for over one month. The excellent motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and failure to state a claim are ripe for disposition after today!

Two days after entered!
