[room] anti-open access movement

Forces are mashaling to oppose the open access movement, the open
source-inspired movement to make academic research publicly
available online. The American Association of Publishers (AAP)
recently announced the creation of the Partnership for Research
Integrity in Science and Medicine (PRISM), an apparent lobby
group organized to resist efforts to compel academic publishers
to make publicly funded research generally available. PRISM's
methods appear eerily similar to those used to oppose legislation
to make public documents available in an open format, as well as
the actions against free downloads by such organizations as the
Motion Picture Association of America and the Recording Industry
Association of America.
