My impression is that the sites which require you to login are newspaper
sites (Times, NYT, Washington Times and a couple of the bigger US West Coast
papers), or sites where you actually buy stuff. I rarely use the news sites
though, largely because I can't be bothered remembering another set of
usernames/passwords. The "buy something" sites allow you to browse without
logging in - they only need to know who you are when you make a purchase.

What's the plug site going to have for members that non-members won't have
access to?
