If you want to make Google pay for a publicly available good, tax them accordingly.
Tax them where? In the US? But a lot of the content they scrape would be European. So does EU get to tax them for content scraped from EU users and US for content scraped from US users? Actually, how DO we define the locality of online content? By host server? Site owning company/person’s legal location? Content poster’s location?
Much as I’d love to see Google pay more taxes, I’m not sure how this would play out.
