This shouldn’t be happening to the NY Times because its an American newspaper and the laws of England do not apply outside Englands borders.

People in the UK can use a proxy to read the NYT article. TOR and JAP make this easy to do. And does anyone believe that Canadaians have never heard of Google ?

When the trial is on, the press can print what has come out in open court. Afterwards they may print what they like, subject to libel laws, that is, so long as it is true. All this is to prevent "Trial by Press". This does not stop investigative journalism which generally is a good thing.
