anti DRM update 3

It seems I have shaken the tree at the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR). My proposal to remove the DRM from the online version of the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (JVIR) has cause a considerable amount interest. As excitement has mounted there is concern as to how the publisher will perceive it. I think that there are enough people interested in freeing JVIR so all other physicians can read online for free such that we may need to present the proposal next year officially..

While it is exciting that there is acceptance, I would like to be ultimately successful. It will be fun to work this idea through the process at SIR this year. I feel the ground swell from the private practice physicians will surprise the ones in academia. The SIR meeting starts in a little over a week so it should be fun.
