German newspapers go back to Google after winning right to be excluded from it

After lobbying for laws to allow them to opt out of Google’s search results, German newspapers have opted right back in again. The publishers claim it’s a temporary measure while they figure out how to “charge aggregators for their use of its material.” Which might be a problem, because Google says it would rather just let them stay opted-out than pay to link to them.
