Some people may feel this is unethical, but I thought it was excellent.

http://www.bugmenot.com supplies active usernames and passwords for
sites -- like newspapers -- that demand registration for commercial
rather than for good security reasons.

I thought people here might find it of use.

Sometimes it's useful. It depends whether Bugmenot has a registered
logon for the site you want to visit. I've so far found that most of
the time it doesn't.

Nice idea, though.
