Yes, we're more accessable, but the information is not unaccessable. I've been in the same boat as you on the research regard, trust me - it doesn't mean the information isn't readily available and, again, if we're not the first publisher, we're not doing the harm.
We'll have to agree to disagree then. I think we're certainly not the first or only people causing harm, but if we make a piece of information permanently available to a worldwide audience, I don't think we can say we're not doing any harm at all.
"it doesn't mean the information isn't readily available". Assuming we're talking about a newspaper article that is not available on the internet but can be found in LexisNexis: Where would you go to get it? If it is readily available there should be other places to get it for people who don't have LexisNexis access.
