I'm concerned by this item. I read feeds from Spain and post commentaries, including excepts, here from time to time. But now there's a new Spanish law that has forced Google News to shut down and could affect this website. "This new legislation requires every Spanish publication to charge services like Google News for showing even the smallest snippet from their publications, whether they want to or not." I'll play it by ear. But if Spanish agencies decide they want to charge me for listing content here, I will be forced, like Google, to shut down this service in Spain.
