An editorial in the December 9 USA Today advises the music industry to learn to do business in the digital age. File sharing will not disappear. Recording companies should not rely on increasingly high barriers to access but "enlist music fans, not fight them, by offering 'better than free' services."

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.
