Not a very hard problem; after all, many websites allow full access to Googlebot IP ranges yet show a paywall to everyone else (including competing search engines).

I also happen to ban Google ranges on multiple less-public sites specially since they completely ignore robots.txt and crawl-delay.

Is that how archive.vn works? I've always wondered how they are able to get the full text of paywalled sites like Wall Street Journal who give 0 free articles per month.
