With sincere apologies to Dr. Harnad, who has been desperately trying to get
the conversation back to a serious discussion of OA through repositories, I
must note that SPARC has now teamed up with freeculture.org, an organization
that attempts to radically upend copyright protections by supporting acts of
political theatre such as "National Barbie in a Blender Day." (
http://barbieinablender.org/ ) Apparently Mattel is viewed with as much
disfavor as Elsevier.
What a week. From pit bulls to people who whirl top-heavy plastic
supermodels in blenders.
We're only a few clowns short of a circus.
