The Metis module automates the inclusion of the so called "Metis pixel" (Zählmarke) from the German association VG Wort. The pixel is included as an image that is 1px wide and high and it allows VG Wort to count visits to nodes. Based on that count, VG Wort pays authors royalties obtained through the sale of printers, copiers, and other technical devices that might be used to copy texts.
Metis stands for "Reporting System for Texts on Websites" (Meldesystem für Texte auf Internetseiten).
