Not so sure. Look at the US situation: most of the news results you click on are now paywalls. Is it a better that people just read the google snippet and don't even bother further? Publisher gets nothing, and i read less US media now. In the end i m not sure this one is not more profitable.
The reality of the situation is this: there is a lot of money in advertising. Google is sucking all of this ... and recently even more than ever. Google should go back to being the gatekeeper that gives a lifeline to content sites. Honestly , i think it's stupid for google to be trying to make itself a content site, it's a self-destructive strategy. It's sad that it has to be done with legal action.
