  • Now that might seem like a bad example because some feel that industry is dying; the point is people are still making a lot of money and people are buying. Yet people get their stuff for free. People always find free ways to get things.

    iTunes and all the full catalog streaming services are making a lot. If all of the major news outlets started charging at about the same time people will pay it and some won't. People especially will if they realize there's a lot more behind the closed doors.

  • I like rawrXsock's thinking - Gnomes know best.

    But think of the music industry; young college students like me never pay for music. We aren't using filesharing programs like Limewire, but we have our ways. Yet, bands still find ways to make a lot of money. Especially the more mainstream ones played on KISS FM stations around the country.

  • Click to see EmergencyCheese's Dick!

  • They've tried that but can't turn a profit.

  • I agree! Go ahead and charge.

  • I am already PAYING FOR INTERNET!!!! NO I SAY!!

  • LOL Are you referring to the New York Times "Rag?"

  • I certainly do not subscribe to any online rag that charges for content. I can live without it. I also have better things to do, and have actually been doing them lately, as I am an ex political junkie. Now I am in political despair, and having accepted that, am much happier as I don't pay attention to their lies any longer. Free at last.

  • News sites can always make money through ads. Don't most do that already?

    1) Have free news on site

    2) Google AdSense or some ads

    3) ???

    4) Profit!

  • the NYT is a joke. nobody pays for their crap now, so they're going broke, and what makes them think we're gonna pay for their crap if it's online? They are just stupid. the real threat to the internet is the politician who wants to get hold of it for tax purposes. that is our greatest challenge, to keep the politicians hands off of the internet.
