Comment on NY Times shuts down a paywall bypass in just 68 minutes

Comments

I read the title expecting to read about how their technical team modified the system to stop a bypass from working, not that they contacted someone to get him to stop offering a bypass service.

Yeah, that's not how the NYT rolls. We got around the paywall pretty easily -- getting around the legal wall though... It's a shame, because we really want to work with partners to help them build their businesses. In due time! :-)

Me too - I figured maybe that justified the $40mil price tag or something, if it included a crack team of counterhackers.

Yeah - me too.
