Buy Or Bye

Not too long ago, Daily Variety blocked its internet access. I used to visit it, well, daily. Now I go to the Hollywood Reporter.

It looks like The New York Times, which has been free for years, will start charging for access. I can't exactly blame them. They're going through tough times and maybe they figure they can't give it away any more.

But what it means for me personally is I'll learn to get along without it. I presume they figure it's worth dropping the numbers of eyes tremendously if those left pay directly. I'll guess we'll find out it if their math is any good.
