Google is going to roll out a new rule where users can only be able to access five full contents of paid news websites in a day.  Google is going to use a separate crawler to specifically index news contents, and in this way Google allows paid content publishers to have more control over their contents.  Before, if you access paid news websites directly, you have to be a paid member to read the whole news articles, but by entering the news articles’ titles in Google’s search box, you can pull out the full articles that were indexed by Google’s crawler.  Can we say, news publishers need to use robot.txt better?  Anyway, Google is helping paid content publishers to have one less thing to worry about, and this means it’s the end for whoever wants to access full contents from paid news websites and the likes.  What do you think about Google’s decision?  I bet this move has something to do with trying to appease all paid content publishers, and especially to appease Mr. Rupert Murdoch who has been loudly protested!  Source.
