What if demand for free newspapers increases because people are burning them instead of reading them? Will supply increase as the publisher believes they are fairing better?
More papers are produced, more trees are cut down to be burned by people wanting to have heat and warmth but not pay for it.
The publishers realise the changed dynamic and halt production of newspapers meaning nobody gets one.
Tragedy of the commons?
