Charbax,

I think you might be jumping the gun a bit. Their FAQ says, "The agreement allows for other services and uses, such as Print-On-Demand, Consumer Subscription and others, to be agreed in the future." As the agreement is currently written it only provides for library and corporate subscriptions. I kind of doubt that the rightsholders will agree to a $5 month subscription plan for the general public.
