Creative Commons put me onto this story - a bill that will put
paywalls up, protecting the scientific publishing industry.

There are a few links to arguments on both sides here
http://poynder.blogspot.com/2012/01/springer-statement-on-us-research-works.html

The article says that rwa is attempting to revert the prior law that allows
nih to require oa publishing, but the way I ead it, the new proposal would
'forbid thos e mandate a altogether, which is not going back, but making it
even worse.

I will try to find the link to where the action against rwa is being
aggregated.
