If you were critically thinking you would see my question isnt if the wall street journal can legally do what they are doing now............it is, SHOULD they legally be able to do what they are doing now. Should the news be treated in the same regard as any other commercial product????????
Is poverty reason enough for someone to lose the right to be informed?????????
Should a person not have the right to know certain things because they dont have the money to pay for a subscription to this paper????????????
If yes, do you feel that way about the news as a a whole or just certain faucets of it.........LIKE THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION (that you dikkheads seem to be singly focused on)
What happens if the news is one day priced in an amount that most people can not afford?????? News that is relevant to things that directly effect them. Is that ok with you???
This is a logical streamline of thought for the question i posed.....not the shyt thats being posted in this thread.
The fact is, there are stories on the wallstreet journal about things that are happening in the world that are no where else on the internet. These stories dont make the news and without a wallstreet journal subscription you would be unable to know about them.
I really dont understand whats so hard to grasp about this concept
Also, you say if the news is public domain then the public will find a way to find out about the news...........wtf does that mean????? Are you implying that simply because the news is not top secret anyone should be able to find it if they want to? HOW WOULD THEY KNOW TO LOOK FOR IT IF THEY HAVE NOT BEEN MADE AWARE OF ITS EXSISTANCE
And if your answer is yes, then where
I give up. You clearly aren't trolling, which might be more sad than your grasp on life. The only advice I can offer you is to continue going to school. I'll give you a few last bits of help. Go on wikipedia and research how the world works, how newspapers work, how private companies work, how people make money, etc. You must be under 16 with the way you "grasp" this subject. News isn't a given right to humanity. It is a business. People are in business to make money. If they have something you want, then you have to pay them for it. Its really that simple. No newspaper has a monopoly on ANY given news. The WSJ or any other paper may have created an article that only they possess. If you want it, then you pay for it. Its that simple. And to answer your question, yes, if you cannot afford it then you remain ignorant. Same principle as going to school, paying for college, paying for a grad degree, etc.
Now take a deep breathe and take your L and hit up a library.
