Angry Double charge

There are several examples out there similar to Referee Magazine that offers both a hard-copy and an e-copy. The thing that pisses me off about these services is that you must purchase them seperately.

I feel that if I am a subscriber to the Referee magazine I should be granted access to their website also. Same is true for my local newspaper... $10 per month for hardcopy and delivery but if I want internet access that's another $8... for the same information. Why do they fail to recognise that I am ONE subscriber and would like two different methods of accessing their information?

I believe that Referee and officiating.com actually have different overall info but one subscription price ought to cover access to both.

I've got enough going on without having two entities continuously pounding me for renewal to the same, if not very similar, information. Therefore, I only have one or the other.

Catch-up to reality and quit gouging me double for a single set of information.
