Getting around the paywall is as bad as downloading a torrent of this year's 100 bestsellers.
I certainly won't be paying for the NYTimes. I pay for the BBC, and I'll use their news web site.

i just look at the yahoo news. or better yet, i just read our own newspaper at home xD; still, sometimes reading the news is so tiresome. all those bad news. i don't get why people would want to circumvent a paywall to read bad news. it's everywhere, really.
hmm...i don't see how it's related to breaking the DRM on a book, though (as the OP added later). i see DRM as restrictive of a customer's right to be able to use the book that they bought however they choose, provided it's legal and within reason. circumventing the paywall means you don't want to pay up. i think it's different, but i didn't tell the OP this anymore because i don't want to start a lengthy argument. i just wanted to put in my two cents and leave x_x; sometimes i get really scared when there are members who aggressively put their opinions out there. i'm scared of aggressive people xD; i could never think clearly around them.
