Australia on Wednesday said promised laws forcing tech giants to pay media outlets for content had already succeeded after reports that publisher and broadcaster Nine Entertainment agreed on a licensing deal with Google. The Alphabet owned company agreed to pay Nine more than AUD 30 million (roughly Rs. 170 crores) a year for its content, two of Nine's newspapers reported, citing unidentified industry sources. The deal would be formally signed in the next two weeks, the newspapers said. A Nine spokeswoman declined to comment to Reuters. A Google spokesman also declined to comment.
