Individuals potentially profit much more from this than Google profits from having their one url. I guess because they make 20 billion a year that gets up some people's noses huh?

Then everyone can as well? Because my site contributes to their income, and they don't paid me anything. They should pay everyone they link to, as well as for putting their ads on my site. Instead of everyone trying to sue everyone else, doesn't it make more sense to contest it in Court? Then if someone like Google were to lose, they would only be required to remove material or pay for it. Though I fail to see why News reporting should be profitable, or how anyone could copyright it, even if they wrote it firsthand. If someone quotes me from my blog, or copies an article, should I be able to sue them since I've made it available? Even if they claimed to have written it themselves, would I care? No. So if Google search links to my Web page I can sue them? Then everyone can as well? Because my site contributes to their income, and they don’t paid me anything.
