Let's take this a step further. Here's a few ideas for putting these steaming turds out of business.

1. They are filling the mail with postage paid postcards for people to subscribe. They typically come in the mail in these coupon packs. Send in as many as you can with phony subscription requests (real addresses/fake names). Burn them with postage expenses and fake subscriptions.

2. Take the FREE papers and simply recycle them, then cancel when they ask you to subscribe. Give them no cash, but take as much FREE as you can.

3. Tell stores that advertise with them that you are reconsidering you patronage based on their placing ads in the LA Times.

This will drain them of cash and hopefully help put them out of business.

Rather than committing mail fraud, why not just do as I do.. Use a big black marker, write 'Cancelled!' and drop it in your nearest mailbox. They pay the postage for nothing.

Don't even take the free paper. When they call to offer you the free subscription, laugh at them then say, Not even for free will I have that paper at my door in the morning.
