Make it a browser extension.

  I don't like browser extensions because of the security model. Also, it has to get its data from somewhere, and this source can still be taken down, I suppose. Perhaps you can hash the original url, use that as a key and upload the ascii text of the article as a torrent.

    Why would it need to get data from anything except the page you are looking at?

      I think the parent is thinking of a proxy type model which would be more robust in the long run since bypassing paywalls is cat and mouse. Rather than do everything client side, which would eventually stop working anyway, one could proxy the requests to a server that would deliver the contents. This is not too different from the existing outline.com model, but the servers can be shuffled around more easily.
