I didn't say "Paywalls break the web", I have no problem with paywalls, I have a problem with the way The Economist is using URLs.

URLs are the standard for accessing web documents. A URL is a universal identifier. The referrer is not part of a URL. The Economist's use of URLs is breaking the web.
