German lawyer Thomas Stadler praises the July decision of a German court upholding the legality of deep linking. (The article is in German; for background, see my 10/9/03 blog posting.) He argues that deep linking is important for individual website authors, for ISPs, for search engines, and for research. (Thanks to Klaus Graf.)

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.
