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).

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.
