I'd complain, but then again I'm a capitalist, so what right do I have?

'New York Times' to Start Charging for Some Web Content in September

NEW YORK The New York Times announced today that it will start charging for some online content, beginning in September.

The new, premium level of membership will be called TimesSelect, and participants will have exclusive access to Op-Ed and news columnists on NYTimes.com, easy and in-depth access to the paper's online archives, and early access to certain articles on the site, among other features.

Home-delivery subscribers will automatically receive TimesSelect membership. For non-subscribers, it will cost $49.95. Most news, features, and multimedia on the Times site will remain free.

Damn.

I suspect that someone will start posting the essays on a free site once this starts. The internet is inherently anti-capitalist.
