• NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) lost ~250 k full-text NASA reports and ~13 k historical NACA documents—about 85 % of its collection—after a brief outage, underscoring the fragility of public scientific archives.  
• A partial mirror of the remaining NTRS content is available at the Aerospace Research Information Center in South Korea (aric.or.kr), but its completeness is unknown.  
• Participants estimated NTRS once held ~500 k citations and ~200 k full-text documents (~2 M total items, or ~4 % of all published science/engineering literature).  
• Paperbot, an open-source IRC bot (github.com/kanzure/paperbot) that retrieves paywalled papers, was tested; its single-proxy limitation and credential constraints were discussed.  
• A 1999 review on angiogenesis in tumor growth was successfully fetched via paperbot, illustrating routine use of automated tools to bypass publisher paywalls.  
• The Priceonomics article “Why is Science Behind a Paywall?” was shared as background on restricted access to scientific literature.  
• Phil Zimmermann’s tactic of printing PGP source code as a book to circumvent U.S. crypto export controls was cited as a precedent for “legal” information sharing.  
• A PNAS paper (2013) showed that political ideology influences consumer preference for energy-efficient CFL bulbs only when the CFL costs three times more than incandescent alternatives; at equal prices, ideological labeling had no effect.  
• Participants highlighted how paywalls distort science journalism: the paper’s abstract was linked by National Geographic, but most blogs omitted the link because readers could not access the full text.
