French media set to take Google to the competition regulator over its refusal to pay news companies for displaying their content in search results, which is in violation of a new EU copyright law. Google said articles, pictures & videos will be shown in search results only if media firms consent to them use for free. About 800 journalists, media CEOs, etc signed an open letter to ensure Google complies with the new rule.
