Is there any type of consequence for the police department or whatever when decisions like this are made? Are there any financial compensation programs when you're falsely arrested?
I've lived in places where police are known to do these things just to intimidate people and they just get away with it. As far as I know in Bulgaria (used to be a Soviet state) and Turkey, not much is done when police officers make 'mistakes' like this; effectively creating police states.
Actually, about that 6%... The profit-line will lie somewhere between 6 and 66%. So just converting 6% (which isn't easy given all the competition + no real added value behind paywall) might be tough by itself.
I realize you're just looking at fact 2 and I love your analysis, but if you're going to talk conversion rates, you need to take the projection from fact 1 into consideration. :)
True. Although the difficulty with that is that people who are subscribing to the print version already get access.
Anyway, I figured the 6 to 66% margin left enough room to factor that in. I don't expect GBC to be high when no extra value is offered. People simply don't get offered a 'reason to buy'.
My main point was just in showing that they really didn't think this paywall through very well and unless they get lucky, they'll have a lot of trouble making it work.

Google makes people think carefully about sharing something to specific people instead of the whole world.
Facebook makes people think carefully about sharing something with the whole world instead of specific people.
And we all know which of these two tactics Facebook has had its eye on for ages now.

Somehow I can actually see this one succeeding somehow, as opposed to Buzz, Wave, etc.

"Notice how to get around the 1st amendment, the cop thinks all he needs to do is say "I can arrest you for not following a direct order""
Very important.
