so they want to charge the same price for a product that has the overheads severely reduced?

come on ppl be brainwashed into believing that paying the same price for a product that now costs a quarter of the cost to supply is ok, remember its all about economics and capitalism and companies have a right to charge what they want for their products, giving us good value, tsk that's not the capitalist way!

If a good number people refuse to pay that much for the digital copy, then they will probably reduce the price. But then again, they might not lower the price b/c the targeted amount of their customers are purchasing the product. In other words, the rest of us could refuse to pay that amount, but if some people are willing to pay that much to satisfy their expected/needed demand then the price probably won't change.

I never read Time Magzine, but just thinking about flipping or scrolling through all those advertisements on a digital version seems very annoying.
