He draws on the legal strategy of statutory licensing to set out the terms and structures by which the [US] Copyright Act could ensure that publishers are fairly compensated for providing immediate #openaccess."

The book itself is OA. Thanks, John and #MITPress.

À savoir, le livre « #MajorityJudgment:
Measuring, Ranking, and Electing » <https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262545716/>, <http://zlibrary24tuxziyiyfr7zd46ytefdqbqd2axkmxm4o5374ptpc52fad.onion/book/1208115/a703c9>, publié chez #MITpress en 2011 par #MichelBalinski et #RidaLaraki, démontre formellement que le #JugementMajoritaire est l'unique méthode de #vote qui évite le paradoxe de #Condorcet, le paradoxe d'#Arrow et contre au mieux la manipulation stratégique.
