The Times | UK News, World News and Opinion. Rupert Murdoch ready to sue Google? | Digital Media. A new profile of septuagenarian media mogul Rupert Murdoch says that the News Corp. chief is ready to press legal action against Google if talks fail with the search giant over indexing content.

In a lengthy article in New York magazine that hit the Web late on Sunday, writer Gabriel Sherman quotes a source high up in the media industry echelon who says Murdoch is "pretty tightly wound up over Google and has been ready to sue them...He doesn't trust them at all. " The lawsuit, presumably, would come if Google refused to stop indexing News Corp. search results without paying a fee for them. Google says that, with regard to a potential lawsuit, it does not comment on rumors or speculation. The article also makes note of the reports that began spreading late last year that Murdoch was in talks with Bing, Microsoft's fledgling search engine, over a potential exclusive deal wherein News Corp. content would appear in Bing search results but not Google's or any other search engine.

Information wants to be free m. Never before in history have people paid as much for information as they do today. I’m guessing that by the time you reached the end of that sentence, you found yourself ROFLAO. I mean, WTF, this the Era of Abundance, isn’t it? The Age of Free. Digital manna rains from the heavens. Sorry, sucker. The joke’s on you. Do the math. -Internet service -Cable TV service -Cellular telephone service (voice, data, messaging) -Landline telephone service -Satellite radio -Netflix -Wi-Fi hotspots -TiVO -Other information services So what’s the total? The reason we fork out all that dough is (I’m going to whisper the rest of this sentence) because we place a high monetary value on the content we receive as a result of those subscriptions and fees. Now somebody remind me how we all came to think that information wants to be free. It’s a strange world we live in.

Somebody’s got a good thing going. UPDATE: Alan Jacobs, over at Text Patterns, adds an interesting gloss to this post: Editors Weblog. The New York Times could be a niche newspaper after 2011 | Blog. The New York Times drew a line in the sand earlier this year by announcing its decision to start charging for access to its website. But it will be a year until the plan comes to fruition and New York Times brass have been tight lipped on the details. Part of the reason for that is simply because they haven't decided what they will be charging for and when. Today at paidContent 2010, three of The Times' top execs elucidated on where they're heading with the metered model. And while they're interested in remaining an influential, widely read newspaper, if the revenues move in a certain direction, The New York Times could be a niche newspaper in the near future. The details of The Times' metered pay system (don't call it a pay wall), will depend largely on consumer behavior.

According to The Times, it will be a delicate balance between selling ad space and charging subscribers that will help grow revenues. But it is a given that The Times will lose readers when it starts charging.
