Charging for that report? I’ll pass

The National Assessment Center for iSafe has released a 2005-2006 report on Internet trends that relate to Internet safety. This sounds interesting and possibly worth checking out, but unfortunately the report costs almost fifty dollars!

Reports like this which are commercially sold are, for most practical purposes, irrelevant to me. As I wrote several months ago in “The Ethic of Open Digital Content” published in the TechEdge:

Those who seek to be relevant in our digital world will not only produce and share ideas in digital forms, but will also permit OPEN access to those ideas to the world via the Internet.

I’d like to read what these iSafe researchers learned in the course of their investigations, but I’m not willing to shell out any money for their report when there are plenty of other quality research sources available online like the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
