There are quite a few websites (mainly media/press related) that require registration before they allow access to their content. BugMeNot is an excellent website that gets around this by letting you type in the URL of the site you want to access and providing you with a username and password for the site in question. They haven't got every 'registration-required' site covered yet, but you can add sites and help others out if you want. Alll in all, well worth it when you get an obscure link to a story on a 'registration-required' site and you know you won't be going back there again soon. (Well worth it for the big guys like the New York and LA Times as well!)
