New York Times paywall bypass techniques already appearing

http://j.mp/ehWBJL  (Nieman Lab)

     Well, consider the first shot in the NYT paywall battle fired.
     Canadian coder David Hayes has just released NYTClean, a bookmarklet
     that, in one click, tears down the Times' paywall.
     ...
     The Times paywall doesn't launch in the United States for another
     week; the paper has plenty of time to plug this particular Javascript
     vulnerability, which goes by the name NYTClean, if it wants to. But
     the real question is: Is this a hole they really want closed? Or is
     this one of the intentional leaks in the wall?
