poliphiloThe pay walls have gone up at The Times and The Sunday Times. Goodbye guys, it was nice knowing you.
Of course Rupert Murdoch is entirely within his rights to charge for content, but I think he's miscalculating. He's an old bloke and he doesn't understand the Net. The old newspapers no longer have a monopoly on news and comment- and if they ask us to pay for what we've become accustomed to getting for free, we'll simply go elsewhere.
Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how things work out.
