'Why information should remain free' – Conscientious

Tom writes that “The internet is a great tool for the distribution of content, but it is also a potential market place for goods. The buying and selling of goods and services is what generates revenue. To argue that journalism is a service is one thing, but you are not going to convince many wallets to open with that argument.” Oh yeah?

Go to your accountant to get your taxes done and then tell her/him that her/his argument that s/he needs to get paid for her/his services does not convince you to open your wallet. Any idea how well that will work?
