Reality is that people have to eat, and thirty years of trying purely voluntary forms of making ends meet haven't seemed to meet with much success. I've donated money to LWN in the past and I'll pay a subscription in the future gladly. And I'll do it for the same reason i buy support and CD's from RedHat. Because I believe in the products and the concepts and I want to support them.

Communism didn't work, totally free software and content won't either on any significant scale. Still, I think it is possible to create content and software for significantly less then large corporations do. And that's something I'd like to see continue because of the diversity of products and opinions that such models allow for.
