Google to Sell Old News Articles

Krishna Dagli was one of a few people to note that Google is planning on selling old news. Or more accurately, scanning in 200 years of old newspapers, and selling people the ability to view the full text. They'll be using publications like the NYT and Time magazine. Summaries will be free, but the full article text will have a price.

Google Cache

But, as what happens to other sites that have a "paid version" of an article, will Google still cache the full version?

I do google searches all the time that result in my ending up on a site that wants to charge me to read the article. I hit the back button and click on Google's cached copy and read the whole thing just fine without paying a dime.

That would make my day just a little brighter if Google ends up caching their own paid content.
