A couple of weeks ago, the New York Times launched Times Select — pitched as “exclusive online access” to op-ed columnists, the full archives, and various special features. If you’re a print subscriber, you can log in to Times Select for free (if you’re persistent enough to figure out how). But if you’ve adapted to reading the Times online without paying a penny, you now have to fork over $49.95 per year or else say goodbye to Frank Rich, Paul Krugman, Maureen Dowd, et al. Grrrrrrrr.
One enterprising fellow has decided to circumvent the Times Select firewall by posting the op-ed columns for free on his blog Never Pay Retail.
