Why did Johan accept this? Though he is an activist, he must also
build a career, and Routledge is a reputable scientific publisher. So
the opportunity was there, and a young and budding author is very weak
compared to a corporate juggernaut. But what a price to pay, to see
your own work made inaccessible to the very people you would want to
reach.

just quoted a similar case. The Local Production paper sells at IEEE for
19 Dollars!

It should be about time to publically campaign for a quality/reputation
oriented support mechanism for artists, scientists etc.

an "award system" with really substantial opportunity to get paid bound to
the condition of free availability which shuffles material into the public
domain.

who can do this?
