...online libraries hope to prevent such bootleg copies of books by regulating use and charging a membership fee—either a flat per-month fee or a pay-per-service fee...
...these artists pay a price for their souls? Perhaps. At least one work was rejected for content - the original cover by Dan Clowes, creator of "Eightball" and easily one of America's top five comix makers. It cost DC plenty to reject it, not only the kill-fee to Clowes, who said he would be "happy" to provide "inflammatory quotes," for this piece, but also the book's original designer, Chip Kidd, who quit in protest. One of America's top book designers, Kidd has said he would be "loathe" to work for DC's comics division ever again...
...aims to connect kids to nature by encouraging them to get down and dirty with it: in between their animal encounters, the kids can slosh in mud, explore caves and hunt for bugs. Brookfield Zoo, outside Chicago, will open its play zoo this week, offering children (for a $2 fee; $4 for adults) the chance to dress up as lemurs as they swing alongside real ones, or build a house made of sticks for an armadillo. The Dallas zoo opened a similar hands-on facility last year that includes a nature exchange where kids can swap their favorite rock...

When I tried to get my first line connected just over two years ago, the technician told me it would take up to three months - unless, of course, I paid a "facilitation fee" of $100.

When he dropped by later that week he seemed quite upset that someone had actually done their job without me first paying the bribe...
...first proposal involves charging airlines s hefty fee (around $1,000 per takeoff) to leave at prime time (like 5 p.m.) Airlines claim this will just raise ticket prices and will dissuade people from flying. Of course, we all know that if high fares actually served as a deterrent, there wouldn't be 700 million people flying today - and we wouldn't have congestion in the first place...
