The NYTimes has a schizoid relationship with the internet. The NYTimes was the first paper on the 'net. Brewster Khale (founder of Internet Archive) helped them get there. In 2004 they started threatening the Internet Archive to get them to stop archiving their internet pages. Then they started threatening Google. Then they put up the registration wall. But then they started paying "reputation" companies to spread their links all over the web. Then they started protesting that they should not have the burden of being the "paper of record", but still maintain "all the news that's fit to print". The Old Grey Lady has gone batty.
