The November issue of Walt Crawford's Cites & Insights is now online. This issue contains a long section on recent copyright news (P2P, copy protection, broadcast flags, Declan McCullagh, Eric Eldred, Janis Ian, the Lofgren and Boucher bills). It also reprints my verbatim response to his comments in the October issue on the Budapest Open Access Initiative FAQ. Since my response is lengthy, this takes a healthy chunk of his current issue. (Thank you, Walt, for this unusual grant of space.) At the end of my response, Walt adds some new replies.

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.
