Then enforce paywall intrusion with crime punishable by the statutes set through piracy acts.

So deleting the cookies on your browser to read the 11th article from the NYTimes website would now be an act of piracy?

I don't want to live in a world of your design.

If your user agreement with BusinessA (no matter NYT or Brietbart) involves respecting the cookie policy and you violate that policy that nobody forced you to follow in the first place, you should be subject to any penalties depending on the harm you may have caused the business. Obviously, this is settled in the court of law based on existing laws in the book, so I am not arguing whether or not somebody is guilty based on this hypothetical situation.

Voluntary exchange in the free market should be respected. If the contract is 10 article limit, you either follow it or you reject the contract and don’t visit that site. So simple. Don’t make it complicated.
