Open-Access Advocate Is Arrested for Huge Download
I’m pretty sure I don’t have a big problem with this kind of radical openness, especially with regard to journal publications… although that was a disgustingly unsubtle technique. I’ve always pictured a distributed project of the “Share your documents (and possibly your subscriptions)” darknet forming style… all the contacts are already in place, since that is how academics have been sharing harder to get publications for as long as those terms have had meaning, we just need a protocol to streamline finding and swapping over the ‘net. There is no excuse for journal access still being so closed and expensive.

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
