I wanted to copy some text directly from the article instead of typing it in, so I headed over to the Sunday Times website, where I had to register to read the article I’d already paid to read on paper. The amount of questions asked during the registration process is ridiculous – I know it’s really common, but I don’t feel like helping out their direct marketing people.
