Quoted: Easy spoofing of the URL referer (referrer) featuring a toolbar - means allows to pretend to origin from a site by overriding the url referrer (in a http request). -- it incorporates this feature by using the pseudo-protocol spoof:// .. thus it's possible to store the information in a "hyperlink" - that can be used in any context .. like html pages or bookmarks

WSJ is adding Digg buttons AND opening a worm-hole to their proprietary content by allowing clicks from digg to display normally for-pay content!
WARNING: The following may be construed to be a violation of the DMCA - use at your own risk.
All you have to do to see premium content on WSJ is:
- Download refspoof (firefox addin).
- Navigate to the paid content you want to see. For example:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB119498643110891751.html
- Type "http://digg.com" into the refspoof toolbar
- Click "Spoof" button.Viola! You now get to see the whole article just as if you have visited WSJ via a click-through from digg.
