npub15dry225aal6s68pdythghk3f754x3vfcnlu3fyggs79dla8dw3zst2yjyg (npub15dr…yjyg) 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.
