It will get really, really interesting as this new bill that protects $$$ for media and news companies spreads. They're going to see the profits in Australia and they're going to want it in Europe and North America.

The article says Facebook will pay $1 Bil to media companies in Australia. over 3 years. That's a lot of dough.
