More on the Illegal Art show, now in New York....Chris Nelson reviews the exhibition for today's New York Times. Works in the show include parodies, quotations, borrowings, knock-offs, and music sampling, all without the permission of copyright holders. So far no lawsuits, not even a cease-and-desist letter. (PS: Nelson treats the show more as a political statement or legal challenge than an art exhibition. Fair enough. But if the exhibition is supposed to show the kind of vibrant art that we'd have in a world with less restrictive copyright law, then it would be help to hear an art critic's assessment of the art.)

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.
