I've come across this a lot too. Time Magazine and many others have a few recent stories online for free, and then require subscriptions or fees to view articles from the archives.

Salon.com only lets you read part of their articles for free.

This has become very common for magazines and newspapers (though newspapers usually have more online for free than magazines do).
