So does that mean having a hyper-link to a news article needs to be paid for? (Genuine question!)

  That's what I wondered too. From the article, it seems like they're only targeting Facebook and Google for now. To apply the law equally, it seems like it should affect all websites that link to or copy the meta description tag of a news site.

    So those media-rich preview pop-ups for hyperlinks in almost all IM apps would be also affected, no?

      This is what happens when you make a string of 10-30 characters someones property.

  I'd guess this only applies to snippets, not simple hyperlinks, so Google could get away by showing headlines only. However, that is just complete speculation as I haven't seen the actual law, and the afr.com article is behind paywall for me.
