FUCKING SHIT. $49.95 a year. Free to Subscribers. It looks like you can still get some stuff, and headlines, but no columnists or anything interesting. I guess I know what to ask for for Christmas.

Saw this in Howard Kurtz's column yesterday about 5 minutes after I tried to read Maureen Dowd and got the message. Fuckers.

Probably, but I'm American, I ignore all warnings and then complain no one tried to warn me ;)

Didn't you have to be a subscriber to their website to read their stories anyways i.e. if someone posted a link here? Good luck getting money for that.

If it's their columnists you want, Google the column title w/ author and see if some other paper or web site has it free. I;ve done that with columns once they went archive (pay) and it worked.

Well, if you get any form of home delivery from them, you also get access. So, even the Sunday Times folks (like me) get access. I'd ask for that for xmas.

it used to be you could google the first sentence of an article and have the complete one pop right up in order to bypass registration, but a double check just showed me that they've caught on to that little scam.
