"Expanding 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."
