These people are fucking snakes. American universities are becoming part of the problem. If my tax dollars touch even the paper some research is printed on, it better be IMPOSSIBLE for that shit to sit behind a paywall or otherwise allow someone to restrict my ability to access or use it. THIS GOES FOR CORPORATE RESEARCH AS WELL which uses public funds (or taxpayer-funded subsidies) which is something nobody ever wants to talk about. I'd also like to see an explicit line item on a university budget where the money brought in through patents on research derived from NSF funds is piped back into the research program. It almost assuredly never is.
