In Turkey, the digital copyright issue needs to be addressed from the beginning and a new agreement needs to be made. A new contract, a new agreement, needs to be made between content producers and the channels that disseminate and use it. On the one hand, there is content produced with great effort and time. This could be news, a work of art, a work of culture; It could be something related to food or art. If there is effort or content on any subject, using that content without permission and disseminating it naturally means ignoring the labor of that content producer, that is, the worker. It is not possible to accept this. If civilization and human history have come to this point, this has been possible because the people who produce have received the value they deserve.

Our thesis is this; We have stated and continue to state that whatever copyright law Google is subject to in Paris, Berlin, London or America, this law should also be valid in Turkey.
