Herald Premium Content


DPF has blogged that a person has set up a blog and copied the Heralds Premium content into it. He didn't say that the blog is here. The cost for premium content is $99.00 per year or $3.00 per day. Yet you don't have to have a subscription to access that premium content.

Apart from being illegal to set up such a blog site, it is unnecessary as you can easily access premium content without a subscription for about a week. All you have to do is type in the columnists name in the search engine and access the columns that way. You cant do that via the home page.

So much for premium content. Why doesn't the Herald just make it premium content after a week so everyone can access it from the home page?

An example: You can't read this article without a supscription but here it is here
and also over here.
