Are they out or just down?


iconBugmenot.com, the website that posted logins and passwords for newspaper websites, seems to have disappeared. Is their site just down, or was it taken down by the media establishment?

Given the media's obvious desire to protect their right to collect reader's personal information for direct marketing purposes, methinks the latter.

UPDATE: It looks like their host pulled the plug on them.

What a shame. I used it for access to news sites that required lengthy registrations (like the LA Times). I'm sure it will prevail. You can't keep a good idea down in the internet age.

I had noticed that there password were working less lately. Seem the big companies were harvesting the information and blocking them.
Well we do our thing, they react, we will react back. The BS registrations gives them little return, they just like the control in my opinion.

If somebody wants registration, try [email protected] password newslinks

If there's no such account, open one.
