A Digital Maginot Line?
November 13, 2006
Boy, this is some great idea.
I suppose the Newspapers will repose in the same sort of security as that provided by The Maginot Line circa 1940, as I'm sure what they see as Google and Yahoo invasions will quickly find a very similar walk-around to the Scheer Plan, not to be confused with the Schlieffen Plan, the former recently uncovered by Just an Online Minute:
THE CALIFORNIA FIRST AMENDMENT COALITION has a plan to save newspapers from the perceived threat of Google, Yahoo and other portals. Newspapers should withhold their content from all but paying subscribers for at least 24 hours, proposes Peter Scheer, a lawyer, journalist and executive director of the nonprofit. "A temporary embargo, by depriving the Internet of free, trustworthy news in real-time, would, I believe, quickly establish the true value of that information. Imagine the major Web portals--Yahoo, Google, AOL and MSN--with nothing to offer in the category of news except out of date articles from 'mainstream' media and blogosphere musings on yesterday's news. Digital fish wrap," he wrote in a column in Sunday's San Francisco Chronicle.
Yikes. With Executive Directors like that, who needs enemies?
