To the site, Google is just a voracious reader.  If they block readers
from hoovering up content, that automatically stops Google.

The site owners wanted Google to spider the site, bring in customers,
then hit them with a fee.  They forgot that anyone coming in directly
via Google's links would bypass their own search engine.
