I don't have the answers to this question right now. Unfortunately this is a long-term problem that will consume the output of researchers and technologists much more talented than I am. I only hope to be involved in the process.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #academia #crypto #imported:pinboard #nsa #security #tech #to:fb</p> Wed, 11 Sep 2013 14:24:32 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:24160 academia crypto imported:pinboard nsa security tech to:fb http://chronicle.com/article/Aaron-Swartz-Was-Right/137425/ Until academics get their acts together and start using new modes of publication, we need to recognize that actions like Aaron Swartz's civil disobedience are legitimate.

I don’t have tenure (and at this rate, no one will ever let me). I am a young punk scholar and I strongly believe that we have a responsibility to stand up for what’s right. Open-access is right. Heavy metal gates and expensive gatekeepers isn’t. It’s time for change to happen! To all of the academics out there, I beg you to help me make this change reality.
