Ars is distributing their content for free in a public place. It's no different than someone handing me a newspaper for free and then getting mad because I throw the ad flyers away.
If they want revenue, they can go to a subscription model that forbids anyone but subscribers to view ANY of their content. But they know that they can't survive on their revenue, so instead they run an "experiment" and then throw a fit.
If you read the comments of the article the "tech supervisor" had a lot of interesting comments that put this article into light.
News sites have a million substitutes on the web. News is practically a commodity. I can get news on my phone for crying out loud. If the entire Ars website shut down the web wouldn't miss a beat. THAT is Ars's problem. They're not selling anything particularly unique. Their "product" is something anyone can get for free with a little Googling.
