phranque: "i'd like to know something is available and then decide if it is worth getting.
sometimes free content is worth exactly what you pay for it! "

This is precisely what I want to do, give the customer an idea of what they are getting for free, let them keep the free content but give them the option of upgrade to the paid content. The only catch is that they have to agree to “terms and conditions” to not steel my free content. Cloaking is currently the only way of achieving this.

I am sure there is a lot of content like this out there in the invisible web and it is in the best interest of all parties (search engines, consumers, companies) to start indexing this content.
A simple way could be a meta tag that I can put on my content indicating what type of content it is - Meta Content = free/register/pay/subscription/etc.

This is what I am trying to avoid: [webmasterworld.com...]
