It's a long article, but this "journey by Robin Kok and Eiko Fried trying to understand what private data Elsevier collects" makes an important point: "Elsevier has created a system where it seems impossible to avoid giving them your data... This pseudo-monopoly made Elsevier non-substitutable, which now allows their transition into a company selling your data." For researchers who maybe don't want to share what they're working on (maybe because they work for the government or industry or something) this can be problematic. Via Erinn Acland.
