Re: The Logic of Page Charges to Free the Journal Literature

It is sensible to ask why a reader would pay for information he can get
free. It is equally sensible to ask why an author would pay if there is a
free alternative.

Perhaps the past experience with page charges is no longer valid, but we
don't know that to be the case. I keep saying - experiment and learn what
does and does not work.
