WSJ articles can be read in full, if you click through from Google search results.
Note: simply copying the Google link and pasting it here won't work. Presumably Google needs to be the referrer.

Why do we allow WSJ submissions here if they don't want us to read their content?
I mean sure, you can go the "click web, then the right Google result" route. But that's like submitting a link to Adobe's most recent Photoshop update and then tell people "you can download Photoshop for free by starting your Bittorent client".
WSJ wants to hide behind a paywall. That's fine for them. But HN shouldn't be sending them traffic and enable that behavior.

Some HN users subscribe to the WSJ, others find the content valuable enough to use the web link. The submitter and those who up-vote the submission also believe the article has value.
The paywall is part of the WSJ's business model. HN submissions include the source of the article. If you choose not to support the WSJ or their business practices, you have the choice of not reading their articles.
