Great presentation @dhimmel. I hope to see more and more science papers free, too! However, whenever some research needs substantial funding, it is difficult to expect that such researches would be free to public. There is also issue of intelectual property, which you raised in your lecture.

Many people assume that money spent on accessing papers goes to the researchers or somehow funds more research. This is not the case. All of the money goes to the journals, who do not fund research. In general, funders and researchers want their research papers to be freely available.
