Hey,

I tried going to http://epaper.nationmedia.com/epaper/index.htm to read today's paper but on trying to navigate to page 2 I am prompted for a username and password which I gladly enter.

However, when one clicks the download option they are redirected to a pdf version of the paper hosted at http://downloads.realviewtechnologies.com/Nation%20Media/Daily%20Nation/Mar%2016th%202015.pdf

<hack_or_not>To access last weeks paper from another browser (where I am not logged in) I just used the same download URL but changed the date.</hack_or_not>

What is the essence of having the paywall then?
