Blaise, the other comments are correct. I just interviewed Vinton Cerf on this topic, and although some content deserves to be paid for, an interview with Chris Anderson does NOT qualify for me. Like the the first comment on this page, I'm spending a lot more time on TED and a lot LESS time on Fora. I don't know what your numbers look like, but I KNOW we aren't alone. Pick your premium content carefully and demonstrate VALUE if you expect me to pay for it. Also, you may want to check out MY interview at http://www.FredGleeck.com. Good luck!

Thanks for the feedback on pricing -- and I appreciate the "irony" about paying for a talk by the author of Free. Our Premium Events are a way for us to bring you even more great programming; fee-based programs that would otherwise not be available for viewing. I hope you agree that the value of a watching a lecture like this for $9.95, is equal (or greater) than a movie or book for which you're probably shelling out $10, and $20, respectively. Thanks again for the feedback. -Blaise

We have to pay to watch Chris Anderson preach about a new era of free contents and perhaps even free "stuff".

That's irony defined.

Oh come on Fora! ... we have to pay to watch content now? WTF. You do realize TED is absolutely destroying you guys in this space right now. You have good content. It's long, which is a rarity... but also means less people will actually want to watch the full thing, let alone pay to watch it.
