I failed to see the other postings of this article so I'll simply reply to this one. Like darth I don't really see what the big deal is.
I could see a reduction in free DLC because of this fee, but not really demos. If you think about it, demos are part of merketing. If one in 50 downloads of a 1GB demo turns a no-sale into a sale, then it's worth it.
For other products that aren't free, even if the fee is "dumped" on the consumer by adding to the standard charge(say compared to the same product on Live), it'd take ~300 GB per year to be more costly than Live.
So I fail to see how it's really any loss for PS3 owners, and even how it's much of a burden for publishers.
