That way Google isn't using anything that they don't have a license to use. Then, not only would the world forget that other newspapers exist, but they'd get the same experience across all the news stories that are a part of the AP. If they think things are bad now, they should see what happens to traffic when the linking stops. Of course the new enemy would be the AP, who uses the stories that it's given by it's member papers and profits from it with Google. Newspapers are flailing their swords around as much as they can before falling on them. What would happen if Google decided to only use AP stories on news.google.com?

The mentions that publications must have advertising and circulation revenue. Then he also indicates that the circulation revenue should be 15-20 a month. I kind of had the idea that since there isn't any "Circulation" costs in online publishing, there would be less of a need for revenue in that area. I could get my major metro daily delivered to my house for less than $5.00 per week. Now that they don't need a printing press, a forest of trees, an endless amount of vehicles to move dead trees and a bunch of underpaid youths it would seem that they should be able to circulate to me for substancially less.
