BRUSSELS: Search
engines like Google and Microsoft's Bing could be made to pay for showing snippets of news
articles under draft copyright rules endorsed by European Union ambassadors on May 25.
The measure, which is not yet final, would allow press publishers to ask search engines to pay them for showing their articles for up to one year after publication.
The original proposal from the European Commission had foreseen giving publishers the right to ask for payment for up to 20 years.
The EU copyright reform package would also force websites like YouTube to seek a licence from rightsholders for displaying their content, for example a music video, or prevent it from being accessible.
