OA as an alternative to infringement

Jonas Svensson and Stefan Arvidsson, Kampen mot kopiering dömd att misslyckas, Sveriges universitetslärar-förbund [Swedish Association of University Teachers], 19-08.  Undated.  (Thanks to UPC Blogg.)

The authors, both professors of religion (at Halmstad and Växjö respectively), argue that illegal copying of books by groups like Student Bay cannot be stopped, and that OA is a solution which will benefit students and taxpayers.  Read their piece in Swedish or Google's English.
