"Speaking as a person who is employed by Elsevier (on the product side, not the journals side, and not speaking for Elsevier as a whole), I think I'm just trying to get a product out that solves a problem for researchers. I think many of us see rights restrictions as a hindrance to product development. Having to have a rights management system built into everything causes us to incur a development cost and makes it harder to prototype and test new ideas. However, the current business model is what fuels our development, so what it comes down to is that the company does some good, but also does some things that probably wouldn't be good if we were to reinvent the scholarly publishing system from the ground up, post-Internet. Each person has to answer the question about what they think is morally acceptable for themselves, but most people who engage in a grown-up form of moral reasoning can get beyond a dualistic moral stance and accept that like most things in life, there's some good..."

Mr. Gunn, I do not think that using "grown-up" in your argumentation is very helpful. Regarding the less good things of Elsevier, is despite their huge profits they refuse to invest in anger in new technologies, new paradigms. That is, it indeed fuels development, but just a small bit, and most goes as profit to the owners. If you really want to play the moral reasoning side of this, please split out all the various aspects first which people may agree or disagree with... settling for "some good" is not a moral argument.

Male spine motion during coitus: implications for the low back pain patient. - http://www.mendeley.com/c...
Oct 21, 2014
from
Spine (2014). Volume: 39, Issue: 20. Pages: 1633-9. Natalie Sidorkewicz, Stuart M McGill et al. STUDY DESIGN: Repeated measures design. OBJECTIVE: To describe male spine movement and posture characteristics during coitus and compare these characteristics across 5 common coital positions. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Exacerbation of pain during coitus due to coital movements and positions is a prevalent issue reported by low back pain patients. A biomechanical analysis of spine movements and postures during coitus has never been conducted. METHODS: Ten healthy males and females engaged in coitus in the following preselected positions and variations: QUADRUPED, MISSIONARY, and SIDELYING. An optoelectronic motion capture system was used to measure 3-dimensional lumbar spine angles that were normalized to upright standing. To determine whether each coital position had distinct spine kinematic profiles, separate univariate general linear models, followed by Tukey's honestly significant...
