Personally, I love the idea of open access. The main driving force (at least in my mind) behind the Internet is being able to share ideas with the entire world, collaborate, and be inspired by others. With open access, we can help spread other people's ideas so that their knowledge can touch every corner of the planet. Similar to open access is open source. I also love open source software because you can build upon the knowledge of others. Open source software has become such a huge movement that some of the most widely accepted security protocols are open source; such as OpenSSL (even though it had a pretty significant hack earlier this year).
