More Content Web Sites Jump on the Paid Bandwagon: "It's officially a trend. In the past week two more well known free content sites have announced paid subscription offerings: Salon.com and F---dCompany.com. Plus, both Amazon and Penthouse recently announced they'll be selling digital downloads. Also, ConsumerReports.org has expanded its online paid distribution deal with CNET to include ZD.Net as well. Both sites will sell the pay-per view ratings and recommendations priced $2.95 per report. Last, but not least, the prolific Stephen King has released yet another eBook."
