I totally agree, although information itself should be freely accessible for everyone. Nice topic for a discussion though!
Well it still is, the web is open to be indexed.
Now paying for a service which has its own index sounds fine, but I personally don't trust this model if the code isn't open source as well (which kind of ties back into freely accessible information), though I can see it being hard to monetize if anyone can host their own version, unless the hardware infrastructure needed was really expensive
