Huh? So I did a search on MemeStreams for NYT and I was able to pull up almost all of the articles that the search produced. Some are from quite some time ago. There was only one exception. One article came up as an abstract. I was asked if I want to pay $2.95 for this article. I'm not sure how NYT decides which articles to charge for, but it certainly isn't everything or even most things.

I will also say that $2.95 is WAY too much for a single article. Nor do I find their "25 article multi-pack" compelling at a dollar per article (A 65% savings! :-0 ) A complete print issue of the New York times costs far less then their "25 article multi-pack" and includes far more then 25 articles. They need to slash these prices.

However, is there a price I would live with? I'm not sure... Some good articles from NYT have been recommended here. (Complete with the ubiquitous Starbucks ad that I've seen so many times that I don't have to double check it.) I would think this would be a cause you would take up, Jeremy. In the past you have often advocated the idea that you would rather pay for web content then have to endure advertisments... You seem to be changing your position on that...
