I for one am happy to pay $50 for access to the Times. It is one of the things I look forward to every day. At less than twenty cents per day (I only read it online during the week, on Sunday we get it delivered) it is a steal.

I'll read the Times online, but it's too pricy for me to buy in hard copy.
