Information should be free (infowars...)

Slashdot has the collection:
  http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/07/25/2317215&mode=thread

Genomeweb has a report
  http://www.genomeweb.com/articles/view-article.asp?Article=200172219199
and the "PublicLibararyOfScience" makes its position clear:
  http://www.publiclibraryofscience.org/

While it appears some publishers have backed off somewhat
(in response to the PLS petitions and my emails and
telephone complaints (yea right)) there is still a
fundamental reluctance on the part of publishers,
even the non-profit "discipline-focused" groups to make
the information available to the public.

Your tax-dollars pay for most of it and it goes into a black
hole (from your perspective). Logical not!
