So the whole issue of control to me becomes an academic exercise, a race between those who want to control and an internet which is always a few years ahead of the control freaks.  On the financial side, im afraid the issue of charging for the type of content is inevitable as long as we live in a capitalist economy which we all dearly love until we have to pay for something we do not want to pay for.
