Accolades for JSTOR

With a few preoccupations we've nearly failed to note these recent outpourings of praise and acclaim and admiration for our favorite closed noetic loop:

JSTOR, get out of the way

JSTORE [sic] is taxing public knowledge in order to sustain its ability to block access to public knowledge.

Making JSTOR into a public treasure

JSTOR should find a way to throw open its doors.

THATCamp 2008: Text Mining and the Persian Carpet Effect

The problem is Google. Google should add a filter similar to their "safesearch". Google should label it something like "ignorant-masses-nonprivileged-search". This filter would exclude JSTOR and other elite knowledge from showing up in our lower caste searches.
