News Corp may block Google search


November 10, 2009

The chairman and CEO of News Corp, Rupert Murdoch, who has been flexing his business muscles in Italy recently, seems to have sorted that particular issue out and is now looking at another problem.

If he gets his way, content from The Sun and The Times could be taken away from internet searches and news aggregators.

This could take place as early as the beginning of next year.

This is all to do with cost and how News Corp is planning to make money on all of its content, whether it is in print, on satellite TV or online, if people want to see News Corp content then they will have to pay for it.

According to the FT, it seems that the issue of charging for content was raised when the same stories appear across the newspaper and online sectors.

It seems that News Corp will sue for copyright!
