I believe Swartz's point is that 10TB of data is not something you can build a self-perpetuating bureaucracy around, anymore, and that this implementation is, in fact, simple enough that it can be made available and maintained for a tiny fraction of the cost of JSTOR.


I'm not really talking about what Swartz's argument is, but you seem to have missed the point that there's more to being a publisher than holding data.


I don't understand your point either. Yes, publishers do more than merely hold PDF files. Ergo what?


Ergo keeping all the documents in RAM isn't a technical solution. I think you've mentally lost track of what I originally said.
