USA: Yahoo! News — Online News Reg­is­tra­tion May Not Deliver: “BugMeNot.com is one Web site cre­ated to allow users access sites with­out reg­is­ter­ing. The site pro­vides ‘com­mu­nal’ logins and pass­words for sites includ­ing registration-required sites like those for The New York Times, The Wash­ing­ton Post, The Philadel­phia Inquirer, the Los Ange­les Times and now The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. BugMeNot’s home page states that more than 3,000 Web sites have been ‘lib­er­ated’ since its incep­tion in Novem­ber. The site calls com­pul­sory reg­is­tra­tions intru­sive, irri­tat­ing, spam-promoting, and counter to the Internet’s free spirit. ”
