It's an opinion piece in the opinion section. You are, of course, always free not to read it and presumably their advertisers and subscribers will react by giving them less money if many people share your view. What I don't get is why you or the “libertarian” who posted the comment I replied to think it's important to get access to someone else's work while depriving them of the expected payment — it's like complaining when a hotel asks you not to sit in their lobby.
