Men charged with theft of free newspapers

"The assumption is that every paper handed out will be read by at least one person, and thus the fee set for the advertising space."

As news has a limited life then presumably the newspapers are withdrawn after a few days? Newsagents used to return unsold newspapers - presumably for a refund. Do advertisers also get a rebate for unsold copies - if not then are the newspaper owners taking money under false pretenses?
