Newspapers that want to charge subscriptions or per view have to move to freshness pricing and have a methodology to not charge for a revisit to that view/article, even if from multiple devices. If I want to read a 3-day old article, that access should be free and the site should be happy to display some advertising that I may look at. That's not the same as a new article that may be published Saturday with a publish date of Sunday, that is pretty stale by noon Monday. The publisher or writer should be encouraging more readers of that type, not keeping it behind a firewall. This would also affect references, such as putting a link to an article in an email or a paper or as a footnote so someone else could see the writer's reference.
