"There are two changes that Google hopes will quell the discontent of media
outlets. The first one is a change to its “First Click Free” program, which
allows users to visit an article for free, but directs them to a sign-up
page if they browse to another page. For example, if you visited a Wall
Street Journal article from Google News, you’d get the full article for
free, but would have to pay for other articles.

The problem is that many people now abuse this feature to get all of their
WSJ articles for free. The new change will limit you to five pages per day
before you must register, regardless of how you get to the website. Media
outlets can opt into this program if they so desire."
