  How do you remove the paywall from the article? Just copy the URL of the article and provide it to archive.today, and that website just bypassed the paywall? How do they manage to bypass it? O.o

    They need the content to be available for Google indexing reasons, it can only really be blocked through the client.

    A smart enough backend system can access/crawl/index it, just like Google can. And then make it available to the public without the front end annoyance.

    I assume the archive doesn’t run the Javascript portion of the site. You can often bypass pay walls with plug-ins that disable JS as well.

    I dont think anyone will come to share this knowledge with us since it could be used by newspapers website to block the archiving.
