foremind » Slashdot Poster Rebels

Looks like someone has finally had enough.

A poster by the name of Michael, has refused to include a direct link to a news story at washingtonpost.com:

although this story was written by the Washington Post and I have the URL to the original story available, I declined to link to washingtonpost.com because of their intrusive registration.

For more on the story he was talking about, have a look at the post on slashdot.org.

It’s about time that someone stood up and let their voice be heard over the registration process that so many news organization require for people to view their stories.

I have usually used Google to feret out a link that bypasses the registration, but it is high time that the news organizations stop requiring such onerous procedures.
