Comment on Charity asked to pay just to link to newspaper websites

There's a lot of greed in copyright, and there's a lot of stupidity, but this is an example of both combined in one place. What kind of colossal misunderstanding does it take to confuse linking and copying?

I don't believe they misunderstand, though they may be greedy and stupid. They just want people to pay for the privilege of linking to their articles.
