So I was looking for a specific article off a certain Italian newspaper, online... went to the newspaper's site, clicked on the article, and got told that the full articles aren't available online before 2pm. Okay, fine, fair enough, they want to sell the newspaper, too...
...except the way they're protecting their articles is quite dumb. The articles are online already... and looking at the URL and cutting out a certain part of it (the date, specifically) will get you to the article fine. Observe: "protected" article - the actual article. I just removed "&Data=2003-5-13" (the date bit) from the URL.
(And yes, I'm aware the example won't last long, in just a few hours the article will be fully visible anyway... but I couldn't resist. I'd screenshot, but I'm not on my own computer. I'll do that some other time, if I remember to do it...)
Maybe I should tell them...? Naaah. Most people aren't clever enough to pull something like that, and if they have such a dumb "protection" system they deserve something like this happening. Not that I buy that newspaper, anyway... :p
