Have you ever been hampered in useful work by overly restrictive intellectual property laws? If so, then Public Knowledge, Creative Commons, and The Center for the Study of the Public Domain want to hear your story. The three groups have launched a campaign to collect horror stories to educate policymakers about the lopsided state of IP law. "Please email your story to pk@publicknowledge.org with 'Public Domain Stories' in the header. We'll present your stories to legislators, press and the general public through a website, video and other media. Please provide your name and a phone number where we can reach you during the day and tell us if you would prefer to remain anonymous when we publish your story."

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.
