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.

private research can go ahead and charge to be viewed, and enjoy no one else giving a flying fuck about their presumably heavily biased research.

That works if there's enough public funding, but given trends lately and events most recently...
