...ICEL - the official International Commission on English in the Liturgy - has forced an independent Catholic website to disable links that provided free musical settings of the new translation of the Mass.

PS: Also see some similar recent incidents, such as Catholic Bishops blocking OA to English translations of public-domain Latin texts or requiring the use of a particular TA edition in mass.

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.
