"The open-access movement is a negative movement rather than a positive one. It is more
a movement against something than it is a movement for something. Some will respond that
the movement is not against anything; it is just for open access. But a close analysis of the
discourse of the OA advocates reveals that the real goal of the open access movement is to
kill off the for-profit publishers and make scholarly publishing a cooperative and socialistic
enterprise. It's a negative movement."

And it's published in an open access journal ...?????
