Donna Wentworth, Fair Use It or Lose It, Copyfight, July 7, 2004. Reviewing a book reading featuring both Siva Vaidhyanathan and Lawrence Lessig, Wentworth remarks on their relative perceptions of fair use, particularly Lessig's dour view of its prospects. A tale from Vaidhyanathan illustrating his view that people should stand up for their fair use rights is recounted. Wentworth offers four suggestions towards strengthening fair use. (Source: Furdlog)

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.
