    Looks much better to be able to say “We tried to negotiate, they didn’t want to. The government tried to negotiate, they didn’t want to. The government passed a law to force them to negotiate, they left the table and blocked us. We took all the reasonable steps and they are the ones who are unreasonable.”

    Anyway, what about smaller medias? You think Facebook would beg a local journal for a rural community to come back? As if.

      You know that the Australian law doesn’t even apply to smaller medias right? It’s unsurprising that a law basically written by Rupert Murdoch would include requirements that media companies have to be a certain size in order to eligible.

        So? Canada needs to negotiate the same deal is what you’re saying?
