Are EU mores incompatible with the Internet?

http://j.mp/WV5euW  (theumlaut.com)

    "It's not just a bizarre obsession with privacy that afflicts the
     European Internet; it's also rank protectionism. Across the continent,
     for example, there have long been howls from traditional publishers
     about Google News, which indexes their websites and sends them most of
     the traffic they receive. Even though sites have always been free to
     remove themselves from inclusion in Google's search index, European
     publishers have nevertheless consistently demanded that Google pay
     them to link to their content."
