Re: Electronic Resources and 

A most interesting concept. This message below strikes me as if authors
wished to be paid "by the read". I, as a newpaper subscriber, buy the
paper and compensate the paper for its costs (including paying authors). 
Is it being suggested that I and other readers now need to compensate the
author directly? 

If so, society seem to be approaching a time when everyone wants to be
compensated for everything everytime....
