I personally feel that this is sort of a bullying tactic. These people go to school spend hours creating content. They employ journalist, editors and web admins to bring quality articles to the masses. Its one thing to support free/opensource software and encourage it. It is another to force it on creators. If someone doesnt want to offer their articles for free or their software for free that should be respected. It shouldnt be hacked around and forcefully (obvriously not in the assult manner) taken. Instead of pirating software or copying content how about you write your own article. Dont force your ideals on others. Pay walls suck but the least we can do is watch some ads. I dont use ad block because youtube is worth something to me. And if this wsj is not worth the signup then I should just go without.
