So my plan is to put some logic in hook_nodeapi. If $op == 'view', and the user has not subscribed to the node in question, I can do something like:

$node->body = t('Sorry, you have to subscribe to view this.');

You could instead use the 'view' op in hook_access of the node type. As with all ops of hook_access, it overrides what's in the node_access table.

Yes, but only if I define the node type, which I prefer not to do. hook_access is only called for the module that defines the node.
