I set it up on a Mac Firefox and it kinda works but not for columnists and other areas. Plus you gotta reset the static referer constantly plus enter digg.com everytime you open Firefox. It's not like paying for it.... at all. But for a few articles here and there, it's ok. Dan Doesn’t always work. I set it up on a Mac Firefox

If they are AP members, more often than not, I can find the stories that are firewalled on another AP member's site for free via a Google search.

If you go to their website and try to click on a story, it will tell you to subscribe to read. But if you do a Google search for the same headline, the first link will be the story you wanted to read in all its complete glory. Seems kinda dumb to keep charging people for something you can get free easily. The Spokane Spokesman Review newspaper has the same situation with Google.
