Surely someone has tried to tell Rupert he's dreaming? How can this allegedly smart man believe that he can exert his will over the internet??
LOL I can see it now, pirate links to fee-per-view news sites, double-blind hosting servers the whole fruit!
BRITAIN'S Sunday Times newspaper will be the testing ground for News Corporation's new policy of charging for internet content, a report says, citing industry sources.
News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch said this week that the group, owners of The Sunday Times, The Times and The Wall Street Journal amongst others, would end its policy of free access to online editions, with the exception of the Journal which already charges.
The Sunday Times, which currently shares a website with The Times daily, would have its own standalone site by the end of November as part of the new strategy, a report in The Guardian newspaper added.
The Sunday Times currently sells more than one million copies each week and profits have offset losses at its daily stablemate.
Murdoch's holdings also include the New York Post, The Sun, The Australian and news.com.au.
