WSJ cracking down on multiple logins?

Cory Bergman February 1st, 2008

Techcrunch takes WSJ.com to task for apparently locking out users when it detects more than one simultaneous login. Techcrunch says this is happening to people who use multiple computers, because you have to manually “log out” instead of just closing a browser window. Writes Erik Schonfield: “That is no way to treat your customers. In fact, it shows an utter disdain for how normal people actually use the Web. But it is an understandable, and classic, reaction. Incumbent executives always try to fend off inevitable disruption by blindly protecting their current sources of revenues. I liked Rupert Murdoch’s original idea of tearing down the entire subscription wall much better.”
