      The Talk page for that wiki entry is a microcosm of tech society, and illustrates the need for Wikipedia and its commitment to neutral point of view. It’s a difficult position to stake out, and it’s a nuanced one.

    I commend all those who take the risk of setting up these bypasses. You take enormous personal legal risk in providing a service that morally shouldn't have been paywalled in the first place. Knowledge wants to be free after all.
