This company should charge online visitors a small fee, maybe $5 a month, for our content - which is copyrighted, then sue the pants off anyone stealing it.
Should Google "pick up" (steal) our stuff, if we successfully sued them for $1 billion, two good things happen: 1) Our money problems are solved; 2) everyone else will stop stealing our content.
Left unexamined by Mr. Byofsky: If Google (et. al.) aren't allowed to "pick up" (link to) the content, then pray tell: how would any of the potential readers know it exists? This isn't 1978, and people looking for news don't have to rely on the local news outlet for it. If your links don't show up in searches, you simply don't exist.
