The New York Times

You can't get into The New York Times without registering and registering with The New York Times involves inserting your credit card number into the appropriate box. At no point prior to this is the user advised of charges for accessing any areas of the newspaper but the terms and conditions state they reserve the right to charge at any time. A bit sneaky eh! So the paper is unlikely to recruit readers who are not familiar with it already or those who won't want to look at it everyday. They'll all be scared off. More usefully, the services that are credit carded are those for getting hold of cuttings and past articles which come at $1.95. Apparently 'cuttings' will ultimately be included in the non-US subscription price. Ah, so there will be one then?
