How simple would that type of philanthropy be (taking down a paywall for a week, month) and how impactful would it be if you knew that one week a year, you could go wild and do some serious researching.  It would not only help the people that regularly pay for articles who are already contributing to the peer-reviewed literature pool but also those on the outside, those whose access could spur a new interest or view of a problem.  I appreciate the concept of rewarding creators for good content (clearly, with this platform) however we all stand to gain a lot of progress when information is so accessible.
