    Honestly as a capitalist (I know, blasphemy) Aaron did the world a favor when he dropped those papers. Elsevier Wiley IEEE et al have a cartel and so many of them are NIH or DOD funded papers they should be public domain period.

    The premise of our system depends on controls to avoid instilled entries extorting capital. Capitalism isn't: it's feudalism with extra steps

      Before you congratulate yourself again for internet bravery, do you actually own capital? Do you own the means of production? If not, you're not a capitalist even if you wave pompoms and otherwise do apologia for capitalism.
