Again, in many national laws it is illegal to circumvent TPMs, even if it is to achieve a lawful aim, such as utilizing a copyright exception.

- 9The author acknowledges that gold open access is not always paid-for open access. Peter Suber’s definitions of gratis (price barrier removed) and libre (price and permissions barriers removed) open access are more equitable and more accurate – yet in the 10 years since he proposed these, they have not become the norm in the UK, nor are they commonly understood – because research funding has shaped the open access debate to a disproportionate extent.

- 20The Elsevier user licence offers no recourse as it is even more restrictive than the most restrictive CC licence (CC BY-NC-ND) by not permitting self-archiving in a repository, or reusing portions or extracts from the article in other works. This latter requirement attempts to limit rights allowed by many national copyright laws, and as such is legally tenuous. Additionally, the claim that ‘Articles published under an Elsevier user license are protected by copyright’ is misleading since all articles, including those published under a Creative Commons licence, are protected by copyright.
