Robert Berkman and Christopher Shumway, Copyright Issues Present Ongoing Dilemma: To Link or Not To Link?, Online Journalism Review, October 1, 2003. An excerpt from the authors' ethics textbook for online media professionals. It's useful at least for the many links to relevant literature and court cases. The only problem is that it presupposes readers who take the arguments against deep linking seriously. (PS: I'm not one of them. Every attempt to make deep linking look like copyright infringement strikes me as a bad joke.)

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.
