I think a newspaper website with a policy of not allowing links to its online articles would be like:

- A newspaper telling a university to prevent their students from quoting the newspaper content in cited research papers, or...
- A newspaper telling other news outlets (a TV news program, for instance) not to mention the newspaper content as a source in any of their reporting, or...
- A newspaper joining a news syndicate (like UPI or Reuters), but refusing to allow any of their own articles to be distributed through the syndicate's content feed...

It's just an utterly silly policy... ESPECIALLY for a newspaper!
