    Why that isn’t the default, I will never get. Sure it costs a bit of money to maintain, but at least all research that’s been funded by taxes should be public access. If you want to do your research in secret, seek funding elsewhere or pay for it yourself. Fair, no?

      For the same reason the copyright and parent system have been gamed, and that’s in service of giant corporations.
