The news media found a nice way around this away didn't they? Open up the first paragraph and headline for public viewing and hide the rest behind a paywall.
It seems like Murdoch wants search engines to be like a TV subscription model. If you use Bing you get access to The Times and The Sun. Bing Plus (at a cost of £20 a month) would get you access to Sky Sports and so on.
