The Wall Street Journal web site looks at the "referer" header to determine where the link the user is requesting came from (the previous web site). If it begins with "http://digg.com", then they show the page for free - even if it's part of the paid content.

It's a very week form of security that can be easily spoofed. It seems that the WSJ is pretty close to giving up on a subscribers only area.

I think the deal is as much about Digg as it is about the Journal. The traffic impact or Digg, especially if the Journal were to go free would be major. As I wrote on my blog today, access to an additional 15 million visitors would definitely change Digg's status.

Also, glad to see WSJ finally doing away with the online charge! Very good news, indeed.
