I've noticed a bunch of comments lately on ways of paying for downloaded
content.

Anyone seriously interested in this topic should check out the experiment in
progress on Stephen King's website, where he is offering chapter downloads
of a new horror novel, "The Plant," for a buck apiece, on an honor system,
for a work still in progress.

Basically, it's a "shame on you" play.  If the pay-through rate drops below
3/4 he'll stop doing it.  There is a page of statistics on how it's going.
He's not cash positive yet, due to big expenses to place newspaper ads, but
in general things seem to be going quite well.

Cheers,
Frank
