    FYI, there is a simple workaround for non-subscribers, namely copy/pasting the article title into Google, which then allows access.

    Thanks for that tip, it's very useful.

    On the face of it, the URL is identical so I'm not quite sure exactly how this works, but after reading about this trick on here I've used it a number of times and haven't yet encountered any problems....

    The FT web server might check that the HTTP_REFERER (sic) is the address of a Google search page - but that's purely a guess at a plausible way of doing it.
