What content do you pay for online?
robw: I paid $5 for a MetaFilter account - good intentions, then never used it.  That was about 3 years ago.Other stuff - last.fm, flickr (although its not the content that they charge for), emusic.  
I wonder if the BBC iPlayer counts?  There's a TV license after all.In terms of news/informational content, I have a subscribtion to New Scientist (dead-tree format), which gives me access to their online archives.  But I didn't pay specifically for those archives.  
I was also a paid-up member of Daring Fireball when John Gruber first went full-time with it.  But again, that was to get a shirt more than the content itself.As moxy says, you can get pretty much anything free if you look hard enough.  Seems in my case I'm buying a physical item with 'free' content attached, rather than the content itself.
