    If research is funded by tax dollars, then it should absolutely be free for everyone to have access to.

    I’m not sure how I feel about private research being required to be free to all (does it disencentivize research to let everyone learn from what you paid to learn?). Either way, if the tax payer pays for something, they deserve free access to learn from it.
