I suppose the difficulty is that servers on the Internet are available publicly and therefore people expect free content from them. The problem is that people put content on there for £0.00 and we have expected it to be that cost (ie, nothing) ever since. It is obvious, however, that hosting servers is not without cost, nor is creating content without cost. The solution would therefore be to: a. not offer content free, b. attempt to support it with adverts Since option B is disliked by so many, the only logical option is A. I believe we should probably have a reintroduction/introduction of HTTP 402. I think that would make sense.
