Submission + - ACM censors Phd student (realtimecollisiondetection.net)
sourcerror writes: Christer Ericson, Director of Tools and Technology at Sony Santa Monica (the God of War team) writes in his blog:
"The previous episode of the ACM saga had a powerful organization bully a young impressionable PhD student into deleting his fully legal web pages under an implied threat of legal action if he did not comply.
This weeks episode has ACM fighting against a US government initiative for open access to research papers supported by government funding! This is a highly important initiative. ACM is trying to kill it so they, and other greedy scientific publishers, can continue to make money on those papers that you paid for with your tax money."
