I love you Mike Masnick so this is meant as gentle critique:
The web was built to enable scholarly communication. This distinction is important because the web is one of the most significant inventions in history, and leaving this fact out, we lose one of the best cases for publicly funded research: how it has produced otherwise impossible achievements.

Techdirt has not posted any stories submitted by openuark.
