Google to limit free news access

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8389896.stm

Newspaper publishers will now be able to set a limit on the number of free news articles people can read through Google, the company has announced.

The concession follows claims from some media companies that the search engine is profiting from online news pages.

Under the First Click Free programme, publishers can now prevent unrestricted access to subscription websites.

Users who click on more than five articles in a day may be routed to payment or registration pages.


Copy and pasted from the #1 free site in the world. The BBC! :D
