Christopher, I understand the Washington Post limits the number of articles you can read with a paywall. It's probably based on cookies attached to a specific device/browser combo. I believe it's still possible to legally extend the number of articles read by using different browsers on the same device (e.g. Chrome, Safari, FireFox, etc) or use different devices if you have a laptop and mobile device, for instance. There are still limits to the number of articles you can read, of course. Let's hope it never becomes legal to track our Internet use across all devices and browsers. Cheers!

PS: the Washington Post has a pay wall as seen from here. Perhaps we could ask Esther to post a copy of her text.

"*Don’t give your dot-org domain away to a private company*
One of the Internet’s most trusted assets — the dot-org domain used by nonprofits from UNICEF to your local food bank — is being hijacked. Dot-org, which was built to support nonprofits globally, is being sold to the highest bidder with almost no public discussion or consideration of alternatives. Organizations and their supporters who rely on dot-org for website and email access deserve an open process. The institutions that govern the Internet should be transparent. It is up to those of us who believe in a free and open Internet to demand this deal be reconsidered. ..."
