Do a Google search for:

legal obligation to retain the information because of a litigation hold

TChad posted the solution:

You have to trick the WSJ computers into thinking you're just doing a Google or Bing search.

If their computer (or most other paywall computers) sees an incoming link from Free Republic or another site, the paywall automatically goes up.

Frustration sets in.

Fortunately, our site requires the correct title. So, I merely copied the title and Googled it (IRS Email Jeopardy: The agency had a legal obligation to retain the records it lost). HOWEVER! The REAL correct title is only "IRS Email Jeopardy". When I clicked on the link in my Google search the first time, the WSJ paywall computerknew that the search had come from a link title, and threw up the paywall.

I looked at the Google search results, and ascertained that the true title was "IRS Email Jeopardy", and did a search on that.

Bingo.

I checked a Google search on "Taranto's Best of the Web" for you. Works like a champ.

In some browsers (like Firefox), you can actually highlight to copy a title, right click, and on the context menu is that beautiful little line Search Google for "..." whatever you highlighted.

Time saver deluxe.
