In a twenty page document responding to the Federal Trade Commision’s Discussion Draft on policy recommendations for journalism, Google presents a valiant defence of its support for newspapers and the fact that “the Internet, rather than being the cause of journalism’s downfall, provides a unique opportunity for news organizations to renew and reinvigorate journalism.” Google’s first point is that “the current challenges faced by the news industry are business problems, not legal problems, and can only be addressed effectively with business solutions,” rather than by government regulation on copyright, antitrust etc. Solutions must be driven by the industry itself, the document says.
