Last week (June 16) at the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, Lawrence Lessig delivered a public lecture, Free Society, Free Markets, Free Culture: What is at Stake in the Open Access Debate? It was followed by a seminar by Lessig and Jürgen Renn, Rechtsfragen des Open Access in Deutschland (June 17). As far as I know, neither text is online. But Matthias Spielkamp has blogged short summaries of each, in English, to which Klaus Graf has added a few comments, in German.

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.
