Yes, Freakonomics is ruining the dismal science, according to this article in the New Republic [reg. req'd].
For what it is worth, I disagree.

It wouldn’t have mattered if you had registered. I tried to read the article because it looked intriguing, and I didn’t mind using one of my lesser email accounts to set up the registration. So, after filling out the forms, logging in, and clicking the link to read the rest of the article, I received the message, “Sorry, that URL was not formed correctly.”
I tried using their search feature to access the article by other means, but apparently it’s unsearchable, perhaps because its issue date is in April. At any rate, I’m left hanging in what appears to be midsentence, though the four-period ellipsis may indicate that it just trails off….
At any rate, don’t bother registering; as someone noted above, it really does just lead to frustration.
