News unaffected by 'breakthrough' Google deal

Today's Independent reports that Google has agreed to pay Associated Press for using its news content. The paper calls this "a breakthrough victory for traditional news media". I think this must be the same breakthrough I posted here five days ago which was reported the day before by Mercury News. If so, then the deal is not quite what it seems because it doesn't mean that agencies or newspapers will be paid for what appears on Google News. (Via independent.co.uk)
