According to this article, http://chronicle.com/article/Who-Gets-to-See-Published/13040... , Darrell Issa is a co-sponsor. He was one of the few that were very vocal against SOPA so why is is sponsoring this?



I don't agree with his support for the RWA, but, it could be construed as consistent with his opposition to SOPA from an anti-government perspective: keep regulations low, keep the government out of the internet (SOPA) and the private publishing business.

Of course, given that the RWA is really trying to keep a system that charges the public twice for research they've already paid... but anyhow, that's a rationale.


A different set of donors to his campaign?
