State-Run Monkey Business

The state of South Carolina bought an island for $20 million in 2002. The island is home to some 3,000 monkeys the Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health really need. The state does not really want to be in the monkey-breeding business. It wants the island to be "conserved." Stay tuned.

(Reg required. Sorry, becoming the norm.)

I don't know if this would be practical, but what say someone start a site on a server in a country with weaker copyright laws where you can post articles from "reg required" papers and then link to them?

This question is not addressed to those who think such activity would be immoral.

For registration problems, try http://www.bugmenot.com. laexaminer as both username and password works a lot of places (but not latimes anymore).

FYI: a lot of these "registration required" news sites can be circumvented simply by disabling javascript in your browser.

this trick worked on this item and it works on a lot of the "reg req" items you find on google news. after all, the google spider had to access the page somehow...

The poster could register at the site with something

You people who complain about registration sites are lazy and lack imagination. You don't deserve to read the articles. But who knows, maybe CNN will cover it one of these days, just sit on your ass and wait, or cry like babies until some one does the work for you.

Years of filling out fake comment cards in high school prepared me for fake registration. Either that or someone at 666 Damien Way is not happy with the comments I left in their name.
