Just for the hell of it, thought I'd mention that the NY Times site can
be accessed free only from within the US.  Outside the US, access to
their Web site is by paid subscription only.

Other than bemoaning my continued state of NY Times deprivation, what
intrigues me is the technological ability to do this, and their reasons
for doing it... So much for borderless "cyberspace"...!
