Imagine what would be possible with broad, open access to publicly funded cancer research, crucial open data on climate change, and innovative career education and training materials. Right now, this is not the case. Interesting and useful digital content developed through the generosity of public investment remains locked up by restrictive intellectual property laws, antiquated procurement processes, and incumbent commercial companies who want to protect their dying business models. There’s a massive opportunity for our society to leverage the near-zero marginal costs of digital copying and the incredible connective potential of the Internet to increase access to knowledge, improve educational opportunities, and help solve some of the world’s toughest scientific challenges.
