Time magazine remains free online, but offers less content

Time magazine has not put up a paywall, nor has it started asking
visitors to register in order to view content. It is, however, not
allowing users to see all of its content.
Time.com is now giving online readers "abridged" versions of its magazine stories, each accompanied by a message stating that the full text is only available through print and iPad editions. Or, as paidContent's Staci Kramer quips: "What the Time Inc. flagship did was slip on the magazine equivalent of a condom, a barrier between online readers and the full content of the magazine."
