Peter Baldwin, Athena Unbound: Why and How Scholarly Knowledge Should Be Free for Al (2023)
[A]n up-to-date look at the ideals and history behind OA, and unpacks the controversies that arise when the dream of limitless information slams into entrenched interests in favor of the status quo. In addition to providing a clear analysis of the debates, Baldwin focuses on thorny issues such as copyright and ways to pay for “free” knowledge. He also provides a roadmap that would make OA economically viable and, as a result, advance one of humanity’s age-old ambitions. Baldwin addresses the arguments in terms of disseminating scientific research, the history of intellectual property and copyright, and the development of the university and research establishment.

Audio: https://traffic.megaphone.fm/NSR2033542291.mp3 (MP3)
NBN delivers yet again. The interview gets into the scam and misaligned incentives in academic publishing. Big shouts out to #SciHub, #ZLibrary, and #LibraryGenesis.
