Writing in Die Zeit (No. 47, 2002), Max Rauner argues that OAI-compliant eprint archiving has the potential to break the power of the journal publishers. Read his German or Google's English. (PS: Unfortunately Rauner perpetuates the myth that open-access initiatives don't endorse peer review. Max: Next time read the BOAI and its FAQ.) (Thanks to Klaus Graf.)

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.
