readForFree.js

function readForFree() {
	// select html element
	// set overflow to auto
	document.documentElement.style.overflow = 'auto';
	// LA times overlay id === reg-overlay
	// set overlay to display: none !important
	let overlayEl = document.getElementById('reg-overlay');
	overlayEl.style.setProperty('display', 'none', 'important');

	// 'remove' event listener from window
	window.addEventListener('scroll', (event) => {
		event.stopPropagation();
	}, true);
