LATimes.com has Decided to Charge 20 Cents to Email Stories
from the silly-newspaper dept
eric fader writes "In the most absurd move in the online publishing industry... "LATimes.com has decided to charge 20 cents for every e-mailed copy of a story. However, there is nothing to prevent a reader from copying the text of a story on a Web page and pasting it into an e-mail without paying the fee." Oh, and the text that is in quotes above was copied freely from mediainfo.com.... do I owe them any money? I don't think so! Hello corporates within the LA Times, this will never work and I can and still copy, print, and share your articles for free. For example checkout out myspider.com.... sue me!"
