Please consider explaining and evangelizing your sensible (and I suspect profitable) multi-channel, roll-your-own medium personal licensing approach for content to audio and video content.

Newspapers traditionally don't mind charging for dubious upgrades, such as charging more for bold in a classified ad, even though it essentially costs them the same to deliver the product. In this case, the electronic delivery is actually cheaper. This is a delivery medium where the device is tied to a specific user, so one would think it would be easy enough to just register the device as ancillary to your print account and you'd be good to go. They could even grab a minor convenience fee. Alas, don't wait for sanity from this quarter...they're too busy eating their young. Great view into the alternate formats debate.
