I support open access

[ahorbinski]

When academic journals are charging $20,000 for a subscription, they have become obstacles to knowledge rather than enablers. […] The new age of open access should have us learning from the wisdom of the founders of the United States, who saw copyright as a necessary temporary restriction on access that should last a reasonable period (fourteen years back then, seventy years after the death of the rights holder now) before a work would enter the public domain - a sensible balancing of incentives for creators and the good of an educated, creative public.

--David Weinberger, Too Big to Know (183-85)
