The most effective solution for this issue would be to create some form of online coalition of companies against these type of over-reaching copyright taxes (Google, Bing, Wordpress, Twitter, Facebook, etc.)
If the newspapers that lobbied for this tax are delisted and unable to be linked to, their traffic will plummet and they'll be unable monetize their online presences via ad revenue.
In fact it seems that the spanish newspapers have been oposing this tax. They know that the moment google stops linking to them they'll lose a huge quantity of clicks.
But the gobernment wanted to do it any way because it's how they plan to reciver part of the taxes generated by google revenue in Spain that it's diverted to Ireland and the offshore google conglomerate.
I think it's going to backfire the internet market in Spain, and it's a huge mistake.
