[QUOTE="AlexB23, post: 77646795, member: 450900"] Well, about the card, my library card is from a public library in my city, plus I was making an anime reference, as my library card can not access as much as Gon's Hunter License could, but it means books, DVDs, games, newspapers (online and offline), and even bike rentals, though I already have a bike. For those rare folks who somehow do not own a computer (or do not want a computer), the library card allows one to use the library computers and get electronic peripherals such as borrowing a hard drive. So yeah, a careful balance between closed access and open access, at the creator's discretion is what's best for society. And yeah, there will always be a conflict of interest if the government or large company funds a project, so we must double check if a journal is peer reviewed, and read the disclosures at the bottom of the articles. So, in summary, scientific journals and newspapers have the freedom to put up paywalls, and we must abide by them, as that is what the Bible teaches us. There is no such thing as a free lunch ([URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_such_thing_as_a_free_lunch']TINSTAAFL[/URL], Wiki link) is a good secular rule to abide by as well. We live in a world where there is a lot of legal, open access articles. [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLOS']PLOS [/URL](Wiki Link) is another open access journal, founded in 2000. For all the people making excuses that journals are not free, there are thousands of open access ones nowadays. [/QUOTE]
