Another way to get free access to the WSJ, which doesn't require stepping into a legally/ethically grey area, is to use one of the handful of apps/extensions that has been granted free access.
The WSJ approached me and offered this access to a project I'm building, Read Across The Aisle [1]. I've built an iOS app and Chrome extension, both of which are free. I don't know exactly what the WSJ gets out of this deal (we have not given them, or anyone else, any user data), but I think it's that they want to be associated with post-filter bubble projects.
