Would you pay for news on the web?

Interesting question, because as of March 28, 2011, if you want to read the New York Times online, you will have to pay.  The first 20 pages you look at will be free, beyond that, get your wallet out.  Plans will range from a limited access plan of $15, upwards to $35 a month for full access.  If you are a current subscriber of the newspaper print edition (about $63 a month), you will get full access for free.  Many have tried, all have failed to charge for news content online, will the New York Times succeed where everyone else has failed?  Would you pay $35 a month to read one newspaper online?

Well, that didn't take long.  The paywall that New York Times has set up has already been bypassed, allowing people to get all that content that they want without paying.  Check out this article for the details.
