A doff of the cap to Rafe Needleman from CNET News for his recent article on paid newspaper content and its availability across platforms. I thoroughly agree with thim.

You can read the original article here – they key point being…

Paying for content that’s restricted to a platform is an analog anachronism that should die in the digital age. It’s not fair nor sustainable, since delivery methods and platforms shift all the time. It is fair for content providers to charge for their work, but they should sell the content itself, not the media that holds it or the connections that transmit it.

Amen.
