Hi All, I just want to add my voice in support of danah's. I got radicalized about open access when Sage and their lawyers tried to give me a DRMed author's copy of (amusingly enough) an essay I wrote on the very promiscuous mp3 format for _New Media and Society_. The problem was that they decided I, as an author, actually ought to have fewer rights than I would as a reader using my library's copy of the journal. I'm probably a little too vain to totally give up on non-open access journals (there are a few I'd love to have on my CV) but my plan is to go open access whenever possible from here on out. My Sage experience is documented here: http://superbon.net/?p=449 http://superbon.net/?p=461 Best, --Jonathan -- Jonathan Sterne Associate Professor and Chair Department of Art History and Communication Studies McGill University http://www.mcgill.ca/ahcs/ http://sterneworks.org
