More on the Eldred case....John Palfrey put it well: "Initial reax on the 2-7 decision in the Eldred case: 1) No one could have done a better job than Larry Lessig did, period. He is the standard-bearer. 2) This movement is bigger than this court case. It's about giving voice to the public domain and we're committed to it. 3) The challenges will keep coming, make no mistake. 4) More people than anyone could have expected cared about this case. 5) We need to think through new ways to make this whole copyright-and-the-Internet thing work."

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.
