Research and learning should supersede  that of rights of author

I believe that the rights of authors to "own" their creative works should not supersede that of research and learning, especially in light of the internet's broad use as an educational tool. By giving the right s of authors would mean that giving author exclusive control over article. I believe that once a work has been published, it has been made available to all. The reason for making something public is so that it may be enjoyed by many. Barrier-free access helps readers find and retrieve the research they need, and helps authors reach readers who can apply, cite and build on their work. information should be freely available to everyone. Denying people information can be used as a means to control them. People who don’t have the necessary information to make decisions have to rely on someone else’s judgement  Taken to the extreme, this describes better the position of a slave than that of a free human being and yet equally the importance of not abusing that right. information should be freely available  I would suggest that we ought to be in favour of open source .The Internet  allows space for throwing out new ideas and  authors rights are  like walls. 

Its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles,  without financial, legal, or technical barriers

If we continue to restrict access to information, that will, of necessity encourage underground versions of information

The right of an author to "own" his/her creative work is a property right. Authors have rights over their intellectual property. They have the ability to transfer or retain full (or partial) rights that influence the dissemination and utilization of their publications in teaching and research.  Some author make a living by selling their work, and widespread unauthorized sharing could slash their revenue. It is a proper right as it gives authors control. If they don’t get paid for their articles, at least they should get credit l over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.
