The thing is that news has an utilitarian function : we should be able to debate what is going in the world around us. What’s going on in the world is another word for news.

News should be free in a way.

I agree that news/journalism should be accessible to everyone.

But piracy of paywalled content just provides a relief valve for whatever demand there is for accessibility, and keeps the 'news' a property of parties like Rupert Murdoch (in the case of WSJ).
