Fantastic scrap going on all over the interbloggotubes at the moment. Briefly, Declan Butler at Nature wrote a piece attacking PLoS's business model. The starry-eyed revolutionaries ("Open Access is good! Data should be free! All criticism is bad! Especially by big, nasty corporations like Nature!") got all hot and bothered, and it's quite difficult to find a rational discussion anywhere (although Timo does a fair job. But he would, see, because he's one of the bad guys at Nature).
Anyway, I'm not going to add anything. I'd just like to see this settled the old-fashioned way. That would do wonders for the perception of science.
