Do you also believe Google should remove the excerpts from web sites on search result pages?

If it's the substantial part of the content, yes. But in the case of most of the web search results it is not, so no.

However, you've asked the tricky question. Is it necessary to go to the website or to the original news article or not?

That's just my moral based evaluation, I guess from the perspective of a lawyer it's seen differently, much more strictly.

It seems to me if a news article can be summed up in the one-sentence excerpt shown on Google News, I could just get that from Twitter and it has very little value...
