The Telegraph's web-only option is £2 a month. That's less than 7p per day. I know the recession's bad, but honestly, the number of people for whom that is a major problem really is not enormous.
As Damien has said, the problem here is that the internet was founded on the open sharing of information. The error our major publishers made was in not charging for their online content from the outset. They have helped to embed the something-for-nothing culture that is now screwing them.
