The Rodriguez post included a link to a La Presse article on the game (the same link I’ve just posted). While there is nothing unusual about that in today’s media economy, yesterday Rodriguez introduced a bill that would fundamentally alter the activity. If the principle was that links have value requiring compensation, then why shouldn’t I be required to pay for linking to the same article? Since Twitter is dominated by sharing links, Canadian news organizations could certainly pursue payments. If unable to reach an agreement, the bill provides for a final offer arbitration process administered by the CRTC.
