That's the "paid in exposure" argument.
And I'm not sure what my company pays, but they purchase access to scientific papers and industrial standards. The market price I've seen for them is hundreds of dollars. You either pay an ongoing subscription to access the information, or you pay a larger lump sum to own a copy that cannot legally be reproduced.
Companies pay for this sort of thing. AI shouldn't get an exception.
TBF, access to scientific papers funded by public money should be free to the public anyway. The whole needing a subscription to access them is malarkey. The researchers aren't the ones getting the money.
This needs to be signal boosted, regarding researchers, research, and money.
