Pay Up :: News :: Article :: Philadelphia City Paper

Philly is requiring Bloggers to pay a $300 business registration fee if they have any revenues as a result of their blogging (even if the revenues are reported for the city income tax, and are less than $300). Some liberals and civil libertarians gripe about this as a restriction on the freedom of speech. I think that argument is half baked, but it is clearly a barrier to entry to the writing business, and it prevents writers from exploring different business models (which may or may not generate substantial income).
