It seems the organizations that are participating in this are still stuck in a 20th century media monopoly mindset. They really don't get the Web, and in the case of the American companies (Dow Jones, etc.) seem to be angling to regulate the clock back to 1987, when they didn't have to deal with more than a handful of competitors, and pesky things like fair use, hyperlinks, and Google weren't a concern.
