How long before someone in <insert non-EU or US country> creates a company, pays the $99 fee (or whatever he wants to charge), and then just re-publishes the articles for free on an AdSense-supported WordPress site? You can cry "copyright!" all day long but people/countries who don't care, don't care. And good luck convincing China to shut down a blog that is re-posting content.

Well, I think the publishers would feel very safe in regards to your idea if the country of choice is China. I think they would worry about someone in say Sweeden instead :P
