Philly To Charge Bloggers $300/Year

The Philadelphia City Paper is reporting that Philly is requiring bloggers to get a $300 business license in order to operate their blogs. This seems kind of outrageous to me but may be a sign of things to come for the world of blogs.  I’m actually surprised at how many small readership blogs have advertising. I can’t imagine most of them are making more than a couple bucks a year. In my opinion, blogging makes a terrible business but it makes a great avenue for community involvement, personal discipline and just all around fun/Down To Earth. More here .

Question: Would you blog if you had to pay your city $300 — or a lesser amount — to do so?
