I don't get how this is compatible with copyright law or the First Amendment. Copyright law won't allow copyrighting a link URL. Fair use allows publishing short bits of copyrighted material (to varying degrees under varying circumstances). The First Amendment allows me to publish links. The First Amendment allows me to decide what I do or do not publish. If news agencies have a copyright case, they should make a copyright case and get royalties.
