Maybe Google can be made to pay too, a precedent. An extremely interesting consequence of success would be setting a price for indexing content. It wouldn't be a perfect price, but it would be a price. *I think this is argued better in the video. It mentions Google paying for access to the Twitter feed, paying ofr content to index.
