Interesting. From my point of view, yet another reason to use Google. Now this is not because I am opposed to the selling of articles online, not specifically. But I want to be able to turn off the 'for pay' listings when I use a search engine. I want to be able to pay for one item if that's all I want, not an eighty dollar bundle. And I want the price to be reasonable, not some online valuation based mostly on the print price. And finally, if I have content for sale, I want it listed too. A search engine that lists the paid content of only its 'preferred business partners' is not a search engine at all, it's an advertising channel.
