You can read The Wall Street Journal without paying the $79 annual fee for free. Wall Street Journal allows Google and other search engines to index its articles, and it also allows Digg and other news aggregators to link to their articles.
So if you search for a title on Digg or Google and click that link you will see the full article, the problem is that you will not be able to read the all the articles but you can read them if you use one Firefox add-on.
You can read Wall Street Journal articles using a couple of methods:
1. Search an article on Google or on other search engines and if the article is indexed you have access to the full article.
2. Search an article on Digg and if some one submitted the article you can see the full version of the article.
3. Install Firefox and the spoof add-on.
The last method allows access to all the Wall Street Journal articles, and it requires lees work that the first two methods.
To use the third method you need Firefox and an add-on, the add-on can be found here.
After you have installed the Firefox browser and the add-on, go to the Wall Street Journal website, and in the refspoof toolbar you will find “spoof:” and a field, write in the field digg.com, click the R icon and select "static referrer".
Now you can read any article for free and the Wall Street Journal thinks that you are visiting the articles from Digg.
