Give a man a fish...

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.

Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. (Lao Tzu)

Give a man a fish and he'll come back for another tomorrow;

Try to sell a man a fish after giving him one free and he may laugh in your face (unless he's hooked...)

Give a man free online news and he’ll be happy until it’s taken away.

Try to teach him to register and pay and he’ll head to the BBC. (NEJ)

But then again, perhaps not: read how Rupert is right

...and Stevie Spring's interesting take in the Guardian on News International's faith in the concept of paywalls.
