The NYT paywall is easy to get around. (Copy/paste the title and search for it in Google) Of course that's the irony mentioned, since the article in question was paywalled.
I know but still. I've had to do this enough that I think I am going to just write a chrome extension that will modify the referrer to be google.com on every request on specified sites.
That's kind of beside the point. You should carefully consider the potential negative impacts of your own paywall (reduction in useful ideas that others could benefit from, such as ideas on liberty and government) before writing critical articles of others' paywalls.
