I would argue regulation should come with (and typically be proportional to) scale. Google as an organization operates at an enormous scale. The scale of the amount links replaced with IA links will be large. The scale in amount in operational costs transferred to another organization is obviously worth it to Google. The sheer scale of everything and everyone involved should require Google to pay Internet Archive. In a decent world that is…
I don’t entirely disagree, but I think defining much of that in effective legal terms is going to be virtually impossible. And I’m super-wary of anything that says someone can’t link to something.
