How Much Would You Pay for Content?

How much would you pay a year for access to content found exclusively online?
Would you ever pay an annual subscription fee to read a blog? A newspaper? A magazine? Does the publisher matter or is content the only important king?

Barnes and Noble is, without a doubt, guilty of plagiarism.
