Having to pay for access to papers and being forced to pick cotton in the blinding sun every day of your life under pain of the whip are not the same thing.
I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that you completely missed the point of my analogy, which was a reference to the exploitative, all-but-mandatory unpaid 'research assistant' jobs or 'internships' and the like. We're fortunate that this is unheard-of in our industry, but in some fields, it's the norm.
Though I would thank you for deleting the completely out-of-proportion reference to Hitler that was in your original comment ("Hitler liked cakes, therefore anyone who likes cakes is a Nazi"). It seems even Hacker News is not immune to Godwin's law.
(not that I equate JSTOR to slavery)
