  Amen. What is it, Steal Stuff Day today? One new anonymous torrent client, one way to grab geolocation services by doing a cross-site scripting attack on an adserver, and now this. If you want all the Calvin & Hobbes strips ever, they're here: http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes $12 a year, and actually legit. (And a halfway interesting business model for many here: free access to last 7 days, $12 a year to access decades of archives from any strips.)

    I've now seen more than one comics site use mechanisms that are completely under the control of the client (such as popover DOM elements and referrer-string checks) to control access to archives-by-date. (Just observing, not criticizing their choice, which may be perfectly reasonable for their market.)

        The mechanism they use to limit their archive to paying customers is trivial for any web-savvy designer or engineer to circumvent.
