Agreed. Instilling a price tag for users legitimizes its utility (to a certain degree).
However, what bothers me most about this article is that it's so black-and-white, alluding to the existence of only two pricing models out there: Ads or money up-front. No where does this article mention the possibility for a VRM-based (http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/projectvrm/Main_Page) revenue model, attribution-licensing model, etc.
