A hack to read The Wall Street Journal’s Web Site for free


I found via Boing Boing the reference to a Salon’s article/blog post that explains how to read all the Wall Street Journal web site content for free. More than the hack itself that is simple and clever, the interesting fact is that the Wall Street Journal’s Web site is free, when you read article by clicking on links from Digg or Google news. The hack only uses "referer spoofing" and the firefox add-on refspoof to make the news site believe that the referrer is Digg. The Wall Street Journal’s Web site is already (secretly) free – Machinist – Salon.com Technorati Tags: , , , ,
