Land of the Free

By Brad

The New York Times points to a new study that finds a whopping 87% of people don’t want to pay for online content:

People don’t want to pay for online content, no matter where they are in the world: That’s the result of a new study conducted by the GfK Group based on interviews with 16,800 people in the U.S. and 16 European countries. Only 13 percent of all respondents around the globe said that they were willing to pay for online content, while 33 percent even said that they wanted everything for free, without ads.

News organizations and entertainment companies looking to spur revenue are facing a major uphill battle.
