Does "Paris Match" still exist and can anyone still shoot their covers?


I haven't seen it in the UK for quite a few years. That is a pity because
I liked it as the articles seemed better than almost all the competitors I
read.

I'm sure if you plied Monaco, Nice, Cannes and Marseille in season you
would capture something worthy of their consideration.

they do. there is absolutely nothing incorrect about that.

and that was in response to a silly comment that videos can't be
printed unless they're in a flipbook format. people watch the videos
online, because that's where the industry is going.

I responded to that point and you tried to worm out of it by raising an
irrelevant question.


i'm not worming anything. you're the one who tried to spin it into
something it wasn't because you like to argue, that being that you're
doing the right thing by paying for any content you consume online,
suggesting that anyone who consumes content for free is somehow ripping
off the provider of the info. that's just bull****.


Straw man. I never said any such thing.


yes you did

There are hundreds of thousands
of people who pay for online content.


and there are millions who don't.

and not all of the sites who charge are successful at it. some shut
down, leaving customers hanging.

there are many
legitimate sources of free content, both online and not. you have once
again been proven wrong.


Again, instead of discussing a point ,you turn to personal attack.


that is not a personal attack.

and the fact remains that newspapers are hurting because it's very
difficult to monetize online content. people expect websites to be
free. that's just how it is.


And there is an rt to turning "free" websites into money. Some websites
should have free access, but somewhere along the line, someone pays.


free sites usually have ads.

Show me, IN CONTEXT.



There are hundreds of thousands
of people who pay for online content.


and there are millions who don't.




So what is your point?

there are many

Then they are not free. Someone is paying for them.

Short sighted, and stupid.


Classic US bean-counter methodology. Same as hiring temps. No
medical, no sick pay, no retirement, etc. Nothing new. Large corps
--on their way to become corpse-- have been doing the exact same thing
for decades.

You want a REAL sign of the apocalypse!?

What's really horrible are all these amateur "How to" videos you find on
YouTube. With rare exceptions they are badly planned, badly filmed,
badly narrated and badly edited.


If that's the only source you can get (and sometimes it is)
.... well, you *could* have not any information at all.

i PAY for my digital online subscriptions, at least the ones I read

I regularly use air. Would you like a society that would cut
off your air supply if you couldn't pay?

(OTOH, unemployment would quickly fix itself that way.)

Not bad. Too long and repetitive, but the singing was surprisingly good. Must
have been made by music school students.
