Abstract:

In December 2001 the former eLib e-journal Internet Archaeology began to charge individual subscriptions, provoking strong reactions on several journal and e-print discussion lists. Here the Director, Julian Richards, provides the background to that decision and argues that there is no such thing as a free publication.
