... it's at about 15 percent of the Web population that's paying for content right now--that's still a low number. Very soon, you'll see that the content that's left to be free is content that will not be trusted ...


This idea of paying to read/download articles (content) could ruin the internet - we already pay, indirectly, for content by way of inflated prices for goods and services that factor in advertising costs. If this is allowed to gain a footing (like the RIAA/Napster/P2P "situation" ) - the promise of a free internet could go the way of pay TV.

This is one idea that I hope the crackers totally screw up ...
