I’ve published about 30 scientific papers, and have worked closely with publishers, both traditional and highly digitized. Scientific findings are IP, and should be protected; and costs for the publishers should be reimbursed through paid subscription.
Yeah, how is your research going to do any good if people can’t access it? If you want to be in the for-profit industry go work in a for-profit industry.
Apparently you don’t know what IP is. IP means you create a play, write a novel, write a scientific paper or record a tune. The person who created that IP owns it; it has a value (which does not have to be a monetary value), and that IP is protected by international laws. Making illegal copies of plays, books, movies, music or academic papers damages those IP rights. IP doesn’t mean things are hidden for use by others, it simple means the rights of the original artist or inventor are protected. Sure, some people complain that all of these things should be in the public domain - usually only up to the point where they start creating some IP themselves ;-) so, I do not object at all to share my scientific data, and in fact all my scientific data is available to anyone in the world. But I want to get credit for what I’ve done, I’m not investing dozens of years of my life into science for the well-being of humankind, and some ignorant people come and steal my rights and credit.
