Good point. And I don't think it will be the loss of indexing as much as the paywalls. When ppl hit a paywall they may just find another news site and never come back to news corp again. Anyways, the bright side is that this is really Murdoch's risk. There are no negative side effects I can think of. Online news is one business that does not suffer from lack of competition. So if Rupert wants to risk it, more power to him.
