Just below the headline in hackernews, you'll see a small "toolbar" of links:

> N points by someone 2 hours ago | flag | hide | past | web | N comments | favorite

The OP was referring to the one that says "web"

Interesting, didn't realize the Hacker News had a paywall workaround built in.

Let's just hope Rupert Murdoch doesn't sue us all.

I hope he does try to sue for a link to google which has a link to his own site which behaves in a certain way based on the if HTTP_REFERER header says it was from google. He could stop the behavior at any time by changing his own code. It would set a good public precedent to help curtail such buffoonery moving forward.
