This is really going too far. If you don't agree to the terms set by The NY Times then don't get an account with them and you won't benefit from their website. If you do agree with their terms then provide them with the information and happy reading. No one will be happy with the situation. The NY Times invests lots of money in their website and they have to of set that cost some how. They do it with advertisers. But their advertisers want to know who is being reached. This requires you provide information about yourself. The other option? Don't ask for personal information and The NY Times will charge to access their site people will be unhappy about that. Also you will have to give them your credit card number to purchase a membership. I would much rather infomation about my income be floating around cyberspace than my credit card number and I would rather give The NY Time information about myself then give them my hard earned money.
