I see that the European Publisher's Council doesn't like search engines very much:

"The new models of Google and others reverse the traditional permission-based copyright model of content trading that we have built up over the years," said Francisco Pinto Balsemao, the head of the European Publishers Council, in prepared remarks for a speech at a Brussels conference.

His stance backs French news agency AFP, which is suing Google for pulling together photos and story excerpts from thousands of news Web sites.

"It is fascinating to see how these companies 'help themselves' to copyright-protected material, build up their own business models around what they have collected, and parasitically, earn advertising revenue off the back of other people's content," he said.

Geez, these clowns must have talked to this guy. Just like librarian Gorman, Balsemao wants to make everything harder to find, and - even worse than Gorman - wants there to be a tollbooth in front of it all. I'd try explaining the concept of "Fair Use" to him, but I expect it would make his tiny little head explode.
