    If those news sources don’t want to give away content for free then they shouldn’t transmit those contents to the user’s computer and then run a client-side script to pretend that they didn’t.

      I would probably drop 50 cents to read a single article from a news site that I’m not on consistantly but expecting normals paying for 3 or 4 $10 a month subscriptions for news seems to be what is expected and that is just not realistic.

        “I would probably drop 50 cents to read a single article from a news site” - a complete newspaper is somewhere between a dollar and three.
