I am struck by how cool this could be if it were done legitimately. What I mean is if you came up with a way to pay an author for his or her reportage and a way to select what you were willing to pay for the article you could actually create something really useful out of this. Rather than try to steal the content out from under some web site which is using it to generate advertising revenue which pays the salaries of the people who are running the site in the first place.
It is too bad that "real" newspapers are so hung up on "protecting" their cash cow (which is hemmoraging but they can't start raising a new cow before it dies somehow) that they don't really "get" this opportunity.
