It's bad enough to gain access to important literature only under oppressive licensing conditions. It's worse when you didn't fully assent to the terms of the license. Read the helpful report, Click-Through Agreements: Strategies for Avoiding Disputes on Validity of Assent, from the Working Group on Electronic Contracting Practices of the Electronic Commerce Subcommittee of the Cyberspace Law Committee of the Business Law Section of the American Bar Association.

Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
