At least one machine learning journal, JMLR , has already moved to a free online distribution method. There is an interesting story here about how the editors of a previous journal (MLJ) quit en masse due to dissatisfaction with the publisher, and started JMLR.
Using teTex, the way to avoid the ugly (Type 3) fonts in the pdf version is to use the flags -Pamz -Pcmz
when invoking dvips. Then ps2pdf will produce a pdf containing good-looking Type 1 fonts.
I really don't see what Napster would offer to paying customers. I mean they plan to charge you to download songs that are stored on other users' computers, using other users' bandwidth, and perform their encryption using users' cpu time.
If it costs me nothing to download a song, then I don't mind allowing people to download songs from me - a mutually beneficial thing. But why should I upload a song to someone else just so Napster can make money off it.

It sounds like a raw deal to me.
