Quotes
Traditional publishers and media companies have the hardest time with this. Their woefully-antiquated digital strategy (if they have one) usually centers around a paywall. A “hard” paywall requires readers to pay for yearly or monthly subscription to access most or all premium digital content. A "soft" (or metered) paywall permits readers to view a limited number of free articles before prompting them to buy a paid subscription to access the rest. - http://www.saydaily.com/2014/12/john-oliver-secrets-of-digital-media

The towering paywall around academic journals is a barrier to citizen science and an informed public discourse. Tear down this wall. - Stewart Brand https://twitter.com/stewartbrand/status/711602942457982978
