Ah, good old Telegraph. “How do we get more clicks on this article? Oh, I know! Let’s shove Monzo in there! SEO FTW.”

Same story on Reuters, but no reference to Monzo. Go figure. Interesting though.

If nothing else it might shake Goldman Sachs up a bit, as the Marcus brand is just sat there doing nothing at the moment, as far as I can see.

Plot twist, Tom had a Thanksgiving Turkey dinner and is now joining Chase to launch the UK challenger bank all over again.

Any chance of getting rid of the pay wall on this?

Please don’t ask to subvert newspaper paywalls, this is against community guidelines.

Really?

2573

OK, noted. Any particular reason?

Short answer - copyright violation.

If a news site says “You need to pay to read this”, then getting around this is theft/copyright violation.

Mods (full-on staff mods, not simply Coral Crew) have stepped in in the past to remove posts where paywalled articles have be copied-and-pasted.

The only legitimate way of getting around some paywalls is if they let subscribers give someone a gift link to read an article. These are usually one-time only use, and I’m not sure how far asking for them will get anyone.

The better question to ask is “Can someone summarise this article?”, which may get you the key points without infringing on copyright.

tl;dr, if you want to read a paywalled article in full, you pay the wall.

You can access a digital copy of the print edition of The Telegraph (as well as various other papers and magazines) through Pressreader.

Many local public libraries subscribe to Pressreader so yours might enable you to sign in via Pressreader’s library or group sign in option.

J P Morgan story covered in a lot more publications today, 28/1.

2577

Any particular reason you feel you shouldn’t have to pay like everyone else?

2578

Yes, I want to read 1 article, not buy the entire publication. Thanks for your unnecessary snark.

Have a nice day. See you at the library. :grinning:

I think it’s very good that Tom hasn’t just walked away and gone on holiday or something. He’s trying to raise awareness and help other people realise it’s not just them.

Also love that he had a red batphone!
