Comment. This is a very good primer for authors who don't understand copyright or why they should try to retain rights. It focuses on legal scholars writing for law reviews, but Armstrong has put it under a CC-BY-SA license and encourages others to adapt it for their own purposes.

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.
