Actually... if you want to really chuckle with analogies, let's try this one...

A donation based program is PBS television... "you're welcome to sit down and watch the show anytime you like. However, once a month or so we're going to annoy the crap out of you begging for donations. If you donate enough, we'll even send you a copy of Benny Goodman's greatest hits."

A "for-pay" program like a DVD. You pay for it, you own it. "Hurrah!"

A "subscription based" program is like HBO... "we're good stuff but we're still going to promote ourselves to the point of making you want to vomit."

A "McDonalds" is far more like pay-per-view... "we're going to charge you way too much for way too little and if you want another one, you'll have to pay for that one too... so bite me... or bite it... or whatever"

EDIT: How'd I do?
