Thank you for the link. This is a cool service. I think that we make a game of trying to get around the paywall. The WSJ should have the right to get paid for their work if that is their model. The existence of that story and everything around it was not free. It is okay for sites to have a paywall and it is okay for a user to say, well it is not worth it to me to pay and move on. If the stuff on the WSJ is good enough then they will make a business of it and if not they will change or die. This ideal that everything on the internet is free is pretty harmful long term as it devalues the work of those that produce the content.
