Publishers make the majority of their online ad and subscription revenue from desktop devices so in an effort to reduce cannibalisation, our content licenses are restricted to mobile use only. We want to help the industry as a whole, not cannibalise it.
that sounds like a case of doing the wrong things for the right reasons. Information should be free.
