Archive Source Requirements-1

when someone goes to a public library, they are not required to check in with a concierge or the lobby [circulation desk].  this is not, mere observation.  it is the law.  the citizens of any "public" body, in due course, maintain some way of viewing the daily or passed events, without signing-in.

the New York Times has drawn a line on its newsroom [image below, for mandatory sing-in].  this is not only suspect.  IT IS AGAINST THE LAW!!  they can't have it BOTH!!!!!!!! ways!  if they are pursuing those that set-up a parallel "Archive Source" of all their materials [like a library posts whatever daily papers, and keeps microfiche on many popular papers, all the way back to their beginnings], with criminal copyright infringement prosecution, then they must have the news, THERE!!, to read, or, offer a "low frills" site [click option at that page, for no sign-up reading] that has the same article available, WITHOUT!!!, needing to sign-up.  to require sign-up, is extortion [since, they've been given a search result], and extortion is quite illegal.  :(  -msi
