If you want details on Reed Elsevier's record profits during 2003, then see its press release, PowerPoint slides, or webcast on the numbers. In the PPT presentation, see slide 32 for the vices of open access and slide 33 for the virtues of Elsevier. (Thanks to Gary Price.)

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.
