Pay per use does work reasonably for movies and music. Arguably those aren&#x27;t really micropayments though. And all you can eat subscriptions for most available content (in the case of music) and some available content (in the case of moviews &amp; TV) is pretty popular as well.<p>True micropayments would be more like paying a nickel to read an article. All we can say is that this has been talked about for at least 15 years and it hasn&#x27;t happened. [1] Some sort of subscription that pooled a bunch of sources might work. The ones I&#x27;ve seen around magazines aren&#x27;t nearly comprehensive enough though.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.openp2p.com&#x2F;lpt&#x2F;a&#x2F;&#x2F;p2p&#x2F;2000&#x2F;12&#x2F;19&#x2F;micropayments.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.openp2p.com&#x2F;lpt&#x2F;a&#x2F;&#x2F;p2p&#x2F;2000&#x2F;12&#x2F;19&#x2F;micropayments.h...</a>
