Emergency exit row charges

I'm sure we've all seen the pax who read their newspapers through the cabin crew briefing. And for those in the emergency exit row, if they show such a disregard for the safety instructions, the cabin crew could always reseat them elsewhere.

But now some airlines seem to see the emergency exit row as a revenue stream rather than an additional responsibility to fellow travellers. Both Virgin Atlantic and BMIBaby have started charging extra for seats there. So what do you do if the pax is non-cooperative about things ? If they've paid their money is that it ?

Anyone know the CAAs view on this ?
