It's literally their only response to legislation like this.

The legislation is based on the core concept that linking to a site is stealing from them. Therefore, choosing to stop stealing from them is simply doing the right thing. It's doing exactly what they're asking for.

"Linking to me is stealing, but you're required to link to me" is not a valid position.
