Lawrence Lessig, How I Lost the Big One, Legal Affairs, March/April 2004. Lessig's first-person account of the oral argument before the Supreme Court in Eldred v. Ashcroft. Lessig's many well-wishers tell him that the case was unwinnable. But after a year's reflection, he disagrees. He offers fascinating detail on how he constructed his argument, with one eye on the particular judges he would face in court and another on his own reading of the constitution. He's very hard on himself: "Honey, I shrunk the Constitution." (Thanks to Internet Law News.)

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.
