UPDATE: Since the original drafting of this post, several organizations and publishers have released statements against the Research Works Act (H.R. 3699):

Open Access is a method of sharing scholarship that is digital, online, free of charge and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.  You can participate in Open Access initiatives at Emory to preserve your work, and to make it more visible and accessible around the world.
