What with the price hikes as demand outstrips supply, I'm wishing I'd bought shares in Fail :roll:

Well that might benefit Belgian newspapers, but I doubt it. Most will be pretty bilingual so will be able to get news from France UK or Netherlands without payment. Maybe Google should just black list any belgian sites. Lets see how the rest of the countries internet enterprises like being hit by a internet black out.

What the belgians need is the government to step in and rewrite some legislation.

Oh wait.....

It must be quite tempting for Google to just IP ban the entire country until they get real.
