I was recently involved in producing the first issue of an academic journal. So far, the free PDF of it has been downloaded about 600 times. About a dozen people have requested one of a few free paper copies. And zero have bought a paper copy. Information does want to be free -- or maybe it's just that everyone wants something for nothing.
Sounds interesting and relevant.

Thanks for this book review. Certainly an ongoing concern in academia.
