But it turns out a lot of people in media have a workaround that let them get media for free. Last week, it was revealed that hundreds of journalists maybe more were using a single, pilfered login and password to read The Wall Street Journal without paying for it--and that they've been doing so for the last five years or more. Their illicit access was finally shut down on Friday. Technically, sharing a login like this is a federal crime.
