NY Times for free

Not that I would ever suggest getting something for free, but people are already figuring out ways around the upcoming NY Times paywall (which already exists in Canada).

Apparently it requires just four lines of javascript:

javascript:(function() {

var s=document.createElement(‘script’);

s.setAttribute(‘src’, ‘http://toys.euri.ca/nyt.js’);

document.getElementsByTagName(‘head’)[0].appendChild(s);

})();

You can apparently drop this on your bookmarks toolbar and when you see the NY Times “you need to pay for this” screen, click it and you get the article for free.

Again, I’m not suggesting that you actually do this…
