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.

It ought always to be remembered, that literary institutions are founded and endowed for the common good, and not for the private advantage of those who resort to them for education. It is not that they may be enabled to pass through life in an easy or reputable manner, but that their mental powers may be cultivated and improved for the benefit of society.
