First off who really cares. But seriously; it is their content, they produced it and if they want to charge for it more power to them. It's not like they're denying access, or for the most part that you can't find the information they give elsewhere. Honestly, porn sites charge for the privilege of using their sites. How is this remarkably different? I am all for the freedom of information, but when you can get the information another way, why not let Time-Warner dig itself a hole.
Besides they got it backwards. AOL users are the ones who will pay for anything. I mean they do use AOL after all.
