A few years ago, the EU expanded copyright so that "information service providers" have to get consent to use news articles in any way. So google has obtained licenses but the publishers want more money. Google says it's not worth it. Given how notoriously delusional copyright owners are, I believe google.
The core concepts that "they're stealing from us by linking our content" and "they're fucking us over by not including our content in their results" are mutually exclusive.
But somehow the same groups are consistently pushing both.
