Improv Everywhere has staged a funny bit of guerrilla theater on behalf of copyright sanity. See its fake Writers Against Piracy protest in front of the New York Public Library. Among the signs held by the protesters: "It breaks my heart when you pirate my art." "Library = Organized Theft." "Where's my cut of your late fees?" Unfortunately, a good number of bystanders were persuaded ("I see your point, good luck"). (Thanks to CNI-Copyright.)

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.
