The fallacy in your argument -- and in Canada's terrible law -- is believing that making money by pointing to someone else's content should oblige someone -- solely two tech companies, for now -- to pay for the privilege.

If they were republishing news content beyond links and sometimes very brief quotes -- well within any definition of fair use -- they'd be liable for copyright violations.

This is a shakedown, and a threat to the open Internet.
