In reply to the discussion: I don't want to buy an online subscription to WaPo and NYT [View all]Shouldn't the people who made the games or movies be paid? I suppose for larger sites like the NY Times it might not be a big deal, but with games, especially indie, games the developers don't have a lot of money to lose. The same with a lot of smaller websites. I mean, I can't say I'm perfect on this. I exploit the incognito trick for WaPo and NY Times, but they're large enough that they can take the hit and still run ads.
