Side question... when we use the Google search workaround, is Google paying WSJ for the view?


Not as far as I know. It's basically a compromise after sites began implementing paywalls, but then complaining when Google would stop listing the paywalled content. As long as a user coming from Google got to read the full text of the destination page for free, Google agreed to continue listing the site.
