The Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT) is hosting a meeting of tech companies and media companies (roughly speaking, friends and foes of digital freedom) to iron out differences, as far as possible, before the new session of Congress convenes in January. The meeting is co-hosted by the Consumers Union and Public Knowledge. Differences that cannot be ironed out will show up in future Congressional battles over consumer rights and the aggressive expansion of intellectual property.

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.
