And this comes from the WSJ, who are selling a monthly subscription (at $17.29 or $17.99, depending on who you believe) which is MORE than the subscription to the web based edition? Maybe they just added 30% to what they wanted. My heart bleeds.

I’d pay, but why should I pay the same or more for an edition that has no distribution costs, no paper costs, no press costs etc etc? Get real.
