Yesterday I had to deal with copyright to have a conference paper published by ACM. Open Access was charged 700/900$ based on my membership. The two others options was transferring all the management rights (keep dreaming), or giving them a license that basically allow them to do whatever they want anyway. I took the last option but I was angry: this is basically blackmailing me against my carrer path to get my work for free and make money on it. And I had to do all the bullshit job of dealing with templating, which should be done by the publisher.

Hopefully my personal page is well indexed in Google Scholar when searching for my name, so anyone can get my articles for free.
