I know this is discussed since a while on many platforms but especially now, as I am in need of distributions that I can’t get in the library here, I feel the need to emphasises the importance of free access to academic works. Research is already paid for by research centres and universities. There is no need to earn money with research publications as the research was most often funded by tax money in the first place. So I think that as everybody already paid for it, it should be made available for free. Often academic publishers take money for distributing an academic monograph and take money from customers who want to access this cultural good. This is very beneficial for the publisher but it is not for reader or writer. I strongly believe that if somebody wants to learn something it is beneficial for society if access is provided. And yes! I make use of google books but it is not as convenient as downloading a PDF of the article/ book in need.
I say free access to knowledge to ALL the people!

My phone got stolen again and until I get my new SIM card you need to contact me online. And yes, I did not lose my phone but somebody took it out of my bag while I was in the bus. And yes, I know I should be more careful but I really did use a bag with a sipper. And also I want to say that the only place where people steal things from me in the bus is in Oslo. And yes, this is also a reason why Oslo sucks but not the most important one. And no, I am not really upset because it is just a phone but it would have been nice to keep the contact dates. And also, the phone was a present. And yes, this is also my alarm clock, calender and mp3 player.
