The tech industry is mobilizing to enlist consumer and business support to oppose Hollywood-slanted copyright legislation in Congress. Not only did Hollywood lose important friends in Congress in the last election, but its one-sided legislation has created a growing backlash of public opinion.

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.
