Dear Google, please make a workaround for the POPLINE problem

Dear Google:

The US government is fucking up academic databases. You are perfectly positioned to fix this.

You are a search engine whose mandate is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. This is information that is being made inaccessible because of ineffective search.

I know it's not as simple as indexing it and posting it, but you have money, you have a team of geniuses, and you're important enough to the world that you're immune to political interference.

You need to do penance for China. Why not this to start?
