    Yeah, I fully agree. The goal of most websites is to get linked by Google, the argument that Google should then have to pay for giving the websites what they want anyways is weird.

    I also don’t feel like the argument that it’s ok just because it targets wealthy companies changes whether the actual law makes sense or not.
