    Stealing profits that are already made by stealing? Yeah, I have no sympathy for that.

    Tax payers already pay for this shit through federal funding of the sciences, just for the publishers to turn around and steal people’s time and money to view and peer review them. Publishers are thieves, so they can go fuck themselves.

      I agree, If the research was funded by the government; then the research belongs to the people.

      Publishers and corporations is why IP laws are so fucked up beyond recognition.
