The Times, Sunday Times and Telegraph now seem to
require registration to view articles on their sites, with the Times
and Sunday Times charging readers outside the UK. The Times/Sunday
Times has also moved some of the older articles into an archive which
requires separate registration and requires you to pay to access the
content. The Independent now charges for access to articles more than
