Article On Cognition At Insane Price

Hmm… What is this? Might be interesting… Let me just click the link and… oh wait:

Article title Cognition, emotion and the cerebellum
Author Schmahmann, J. D. Caplan, D.
Journal title BRAIN
Bibliographic details 2006, VOL 129; NUMBER 2, pages 290-292
Publisher Oxford University Press
Country of publication Great Britain
ISSN 0006-8950
Language English
Pricing To buy the full text of this article you pay:
£16.00 copyright fee + service charge (from £7.65) + VAT, if applicable

…so with a VAT of 17.5 per cent… and current exchange rates… that is just shy of $60 CDN for a 2 page article!

To view research that was (probably) funded by the public, hosted on a service (British Library) funded by the public, and which the public is expected to pony up yet again to take a look…

PLoS and pro-am biohacking are poised for world domination… Putting these info-vampires out of business will just be a pleasant side-effect…

Link (thanks honeyjr!)
