To me the problem stems from people thinking that newspapers are synonymous with news, or journalism, or reporting. In my experience those three things are happening less and less at newspapers. Making it illegal to link to a newspaper would kill their business faster than anything else (IMO).

Bradley Dilger"May need" to put linking under copyright. Um, "may need" to learn how web works.

To repeat my earlier point, many of the people who have switched under economic pressure to the free medium may find themselves as happy or happier and hence will not switch back when their financial condition improves.

Add Sticky NoteExpanding copyright law to bar online access to copyrighted materials without the copyright holder's consent, or to bar linking to or paraphrasing copyrighted materials without the copyright holder's consent, might be necessary to keep free riding on content financed by online newspapers from so impairing the incentive to create costly news-gathering operations that news services like Reuters and the Associated Press would become the only professional, nongovernmental sources of news and opinion.

Jeff Jarvis thinks this reasoning is wrong-headed and outdated because it only seeks to preserve journalism as we know it, not to innovate for the future, for a journalism model that has yet to be imagined.
To my mind, it also weighs a bit too heavily on the pros-are-better side of the argument, in that Posner doesn't even consider the effect of contributions by skilled and concerned amateurs.

Edward HarrisonA different tack here than Gary Becker. Posner thnks that litigating copyright abuse will be necessary. Yes, but it will do nothing to prevent the newspapers' decline any more than the decline of paid software, hollywood and other groups that have seen
