I wondered if it had anything to do with where you were linking from. But even so, why the limitation?
Actually what I meant was that maybe a few people are allowed to read the link, then after that, others need to register.

Actually, just re-read their registration text. Looks like I got it wrong. The link is personalised. The site allows each person to read so many articles (or the same one so many times) per month before requiring registration.

Basic registration is free, but limits you to ten articles a month. Any more than that and you pay..

However, this is off topic.
