[Open Business:] I just spoke to publishers and authors - they are afraid of new
ideas such as Wikipedia and GooglePrint. Its a real question: what
happens if we move further into a world of free content - how do these
people get paid? Any ideas?
Jimmy: I have no opinion about this. If the old firms cannot compete, they
need to find something else to do.

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.
