John Wilbanks has made an excellent 12-minute video on the copyright problems obstructing research and the solutions available from OA, Creative Commons, and Science Commons.
Update. John reports on his blog that this video is the first in a series.

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.
