 It's also worth noting that Apple seldom make choices that result in a loss of experience for Apple or their customers - the only people who will lose out here are Mr. R. Murdoch et al. And do I care?

It's also nice to read that Apple are refusing to pass subscriber's personal info on to publishers - those are valuable freebees for the publisher that aren't often used to the advantage of the subscriber.
