Don't care because that is not the subject of this issue not matter how much you wish it were. The subject is whether or not a paywall is adequate for restricting access to content on a public medium. If that restriction is so easily bypassed it is clearly ineffective and inadequate. If you really cared about your business and revenue you would solve this problem instead of complaining about failed value assessments.
> control over their work
Journalists don't have control over their work. Publishers do. This is the same failed argument the music and movie industries peddled from around 1998-2008. Instead of wasting your energy on distribution control spend it on what you are good at and return superior value to your work.
