Science publishers get stupid

    Thoroughly enjoying this discussion

    It is really rewarding to see so many viewpoints expressed here.

    I'd just like to stress that my ire on this particular issue is not aimed at _all_ science publishers, but is focused on the big players, who have, among other things, been raising their fees to libraries at faster than the rate of inflation, even as costs are _dropping_, and who have the gall to hire a P.R. agent who is pushing "messages" as disingenuous as "public access equals government censorship."

    People in the business of publishing scientific information ought to know better.
