I'm also not happy that news organizations get special exceptions. It is very easy to construct cynical motives:

- Politicians need the news so journalists are protected.

- If news organizations get paid, they have no incentive to be AI critical.

"Vital" does not merely mean "important".

I view it as protecting a group of producers from a monopoly (or at least dominant) buyer.
