Anyone who does research on any frequent basis can attest to the fact that pay-walls are the bane of their information-seeking existence. In a move sure to please not only lovers of info-pr0n, but regular users as well, the New York Times has decided to drop it’s pay-wall for accessing historical articles, Op-Ed pieces, and other special features. While this is all well and good, the move is a little less than altruistic on their part: they finally realized that the ad revenue to be gained from the locked-up content was greater than they could ever expect to get from subscribers.

Content wants to be free, and gets its wish tonight at midnight. [via]
