Derek Slater interviews Jack Valenti in the Harvard Political Review. Highlight: Valenti believes that nobody needs to make back-up of a CD because a CD "never wears out". Hence the fact that U.S. law denies us the right to make back-ups is no problem. Also see Slater's later comments on the positions Valenti took in the interview.

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.
