It sure sounds like I'll have to pay, so someone decides for me, wether some
piece of info is important to me. Now, if that isn't the first step to
censorship!

That kind of reminds me of an insurance company where I can call a
toll-intensive number to talk to a salesman who tries to sell my something I
don't really need.

Key phrase here is "have to " as opposed to "choose to".  (Just 
like always...)

It's not.


One good way to get started on the road to censorship is to 
believe that everyone has a right to the means of publication.
