Uni presses & commercial presses maliciously taking down online libraries, unis & their libraries & presses standing by while free info advocates are hounded, leftist presses hoarding knowledge, the ebooks crisis, book bans & the end of the public library: https://t.co/dfGSWIm9TX

10/ Let us be clear: Aaron Swartz and @ZLibrary, @monoskop, @memoryofworld, @scihub & other so-called "pirate" libraries are important sites of civil disobedience & history will always be on their side. The recent #OSTP memo from @POTUS doesn't go far enough. Remember Swartz.

"If you can make all the bread that the world needs by baking one loaf and pressing a button, what is the moral case for ever charging more than a starving person can afford to pay? If bread were digital, hunger would be preventable. Bread isn't but knowledge is." - Eben Moglen

Projects like Sci-Hub promote equity and make scholarly work more accessible. We need to back policies which can take the project out of the shadows. https://t.co/3PyvInzqLK

[Memory of the World @memoryofworld]

institutions were born in struggles. in order to exist they had to offer to all of us commitment, vision & mission for better society. w/o that they are empty.

[Memory of the World @memoryofworld]

those institutions betrayed the values, hope & vision for the better society. and that as a consequence creates disappointment, despair and cynicism.

All our books are available as PDFs for free. All scholarship should be open to the public.

That's it. That's the subtweet.

Whichever librarian managed to get not just the "The Twits" but also "Betrayed"; "Resistance" and "Fahrenheit 451" in the shot behind Johnson has my admiration.
