Blocking the new version of the NYTimes paywall

Raw

The NYTimes has updated their paywall-- it's slightly more sophisticated. The content is no longer hidden behind a big transparent div, but instead is now actually removed from the page entirely. It's still simple to defeat, though. Using adblock plus (or your preferred adblocking device), block the following URLs:

*://*.nytimes.com/*/gwy.js*
*://*.nytimes.com/*/gw.js*

And you're done.

I also had to delete and block cookies from [*].nytimes.com. Then it worked. Chrome/Mac.

This seems to no longer work.
