UK Newspaper Websites To Become Nearly Invisible

smooth wombat writes "Various websites have tried to make readers pay for access to select parts of their sites. Now, in a bid to counter what he claims is theft of his material, Rupert Murdoch's Times and Sunday Times sites will become essentially invisible to web users. Except for their home pages, no stories will show up on Google. Starting in late June, Google and other search engines will be prevented from indexing and linking to stories. Registered users will still get free access until the cut off date."

If you've ever read any of the parent's postings before, you would know that his answer to that question is basically 'yes.' He thinks almost all of those things should be provided for a fee by the market.

I guess the poor can just fuck off and die if they get injured, or their houses burns down, or they are victims of crime. It's their own damn fault, for being poor. The invisible hand of the market will cure poverty by social Darwinism--just let all the poor people die, and then we won't have poverty!
