News Corp. (Murdoch) comienza a bloquear agregadores que utilizan sus contenidos

Me entero a través de 233grados que Murdoch comenzó a probar suerte para mejorar el negocio de sus medios con la política que había anunciado hace unas semanas: bloquear el acceso a terceros que utilizan los contenidos de sus medios para atraer tráfico.

La metodología que utilizó es bastante simple: agregar en el archivo robots.txt, que indica a los sistemas automáticos qué contenido quiere dejar fuera de indexación cada sitio, una prohibición global. Por el momento, solo alcanza a algunos agregadores de noticias: NewsNow, Omgili, WebVac, WebZip, psbot y ia_archiver.

Este es el archivo ROBOTS.TXT que tiene Times Online hoy, 8 de enero de 2010 a las 17:45 GMT
