US Forbids Open Access Publishing?

Blog: A recent proposed law in the US would effectively prohibit publicly funded research from being made available to the public through Open Access journals and openly accessible paper repositories: http://pipeline.corante.com/archives/2012/01/17/down_with_the_research_works_act.php

Not surprisingly, it's Elsevier and the other slimeball publishers that are behind it, as usual (remember how Elsevier published fake medical journals a couple of years ago?).

I will no longer publish in closed-acces journals, and I will not longer review for them. When feasible I will also choose Open-Access sources for my own reference lists (this is quite doable for all those "background" style references you need). I feel soiled whenever I have to deal with the likes of Elsevier and I am tired of it. No more.

Keep the masses ignorant, and they will bow before you.

Yeah, I was just thinking this will likely do some annoyance to a lot of us here. :/
