A small tip for free Financial Times (ft.com)

I discovered something interesting this morning when browsing The Financial Times, essentially if we fake the referrer we can read as much as we want.

I wrote it up here if anyone is interested:

lol great idea steal an FT subscription when they're known to be litigous, even disregarding the moral issues and it's pennies anyway...

if you clear the cookie you can read as much as you want [if a bit tedious]
