Germany introduced such a scheme in 2013, a move which saw Google remove copyrighted material from media outlets represented by media industry body VG Media. However, the industry group have now backtracked by granting Google a free licence to continue to displaying that content.

Now why do you suppose that is? Companies pay to make themselves more prominent in search engine results, because it increases traffic to their sites. Google and others will simply exclude them from results. Bad for the media outlets, bad for google, and bad for users. Other than that, it's a great idea.
