Well, I think we all agree that google agregating your news should be opt-out, and the threats to stop search-engine-indexing site which doesn't allow its news to be on unrelated news-aggregator service is ridiculous.
So that ridiculousness is worth investigation, sure.
On other hand, I don't see why newspapers would object aggregating their articles into google news. Google news is all about links to the newspaper sites; it's a source of clicks, not a way to steal content.

I'm also curious about why companies might want to opt out of the news aggregator.
Although I'm wondering why companies even have a say in it. Isn't the aggregation involved fair use? If I start my own news aggregator do I have to ask publishing companies permission? I feel like I should be able to just aggregate them whether they like it or not.
