In May, the NFAIS (National Federation of Abstracting and Information Services) released a white paper on Securing the Future of U.S. Intellectual Property and Scholarly Communication. The paper supports the DMCA anti-circumvention clause, and restrictive licenses, against the objections raised by librarians and scholars.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
