Hear, hear!

Right now there are papers I want to read - papers that are very relevant to what I'm currently studying - but I can't afford to pay the appropriate fees.

If it's behind a paywall, I don't read it.

I think this is pretty much how it goes for pretty much everybody who is not a researcher. I would love have easier access to information even if it's only to check sources when reading an article in a popular science magazine.
