From Nick Cernis at Put Things Off
“I’d like to see online publishers building businesses with their content — not on the back of it. I have a lot of respect for any online publisher who can make a living using the regular models, but I can’t help wonder: Why not just sell some of the content that people are already coming to your site to read or download?”
A slippery slope, as people are largely unwilling to pay for something they’re used to getting for free, even if it’s a great product. Satellite radio, for example. Read the whole article, or my interview with Nick from last year.
