For online news sources that you pay for, you could just print to PDF the article after you've read it. Thus you would not be 'renting' the right to view it, but would have a non-expiring offline copy too. As long as you don't then redistribute the PDF, I can't see people getting too upset about it (until Web DRM is baked directly into the browser controls, and printing becomes blocked)
