2. If enough pay, every online news site will do it.

If we stand firm and don't, it might not succeed.

3. DON'T DO IT!!!

Sniff around Editorials. You'll find them.

4. It's free when they first post

Catch them when they come out for free. Wait and they become pay-only.

5. If you can wait a day or two and.....

you subscribe to a local newspaper, as I do with the Palm Beach Post, their columns invariably are re-printed as all the Times columnists are syndicated. You also get to see David Brooks (ugh) and John Tierney (double ugh).

6. google their names and then choose their articles

7. I won't pay. I may miss some of the editorials, but less for me to read!

truthout.org and commondreams.org may have them *unless the paper starts going after them for this*.

8. I would say it would be worth it if you have the cash. Though Krugman's

piece did end up on another site by the end of the day yesterday.

9. It depends how much you love your NYT

As someone who had it delivered to their door for 20 of the last 25 years, I see no reason why I should not give $1 a week to have it available to me, IMHO.
