Are you saying that your recipe can download the stuff for subscribers? Because I'm not seeing that in the code.

The current recipe downloads nothing, as has been pointed out by other posters, because the RSS feed links to flash-based content. So my comment that the current recipe is "useless" is objectively correct.
As I pointed out, my recipe downloads whatever the New Yorker chooses to place on their mobile website. I did not claim that it downloads subscriber-only content.
Your comment in another thread that you don't do stuff "for free" motivated me to create this recipe. In my view the value of open source development like calibre recipes is that technically proficient people will contribute content for the benefit of people who are unable to develop the code themselves. If you want to be paid for your efforts, fair enough, but don't complain when someone jumps in and donates what you demand payment for.
Finally, your original recipe for the New Yorker is pretty trivial. Not really something to hold up and demand payment for.
