The internet should be open to the public and it’s information should be legal to access. “The internet provides amazing opportunities to open more access to knowledge” this is what Aaron Swartz wanted for the public and was charged with felonies charges before he commited suicide. The public is forced to pay twice for researches that should be open to the public. In the article, they explains that the authors doesn’t receive the fees that are charged and the agentcies or journals keep the fee so why is it that we’re paying for something that isn’t there’s or the creator charging us for? The internet is for public knowledge and should be easy to access not a hassle to get. It’s be open to the people, for the people and by the people quoted from Abraham Lincoln.
