I wouldn't mind if I could get say a PDF copy of my local newspaper optimized for reading on a screen(hopefully an e-ink display).
The online versions just don't look right. They are to hard to read easily, not to mention being tied to a computer, or other battery draining device.

TC2, agreed. Having a site offering content for a fee opens a market for lower- or no-fee sites.
Neither is this "the Internet", it's a site. And no matter how many sites do charge for content, there is always room for sites that do not.

I share tuxchick2's confusion about this. It looks like either something very significant was left out of the article or the charge of 99 cents for a video is supposed to be considered catastrophic for the Web.
lions and tigers and 99 cents, oh my!

The Internet is a great medium for commercial transactions. Maybe I'm missing the point, but I don't see a problem here.
