This is the answer I got. I do actually understand their reasons, in a way they have always been very liberal, but I do think they don’t understand who they should be making money with. It’s not that my company, my university etc are going to not subscribe to ACM and buy siggraph DVDs because of the work of Ke-Sen Huang…

Thanks for bringing attention to this Christer!

My impression is that SIGGRAPH management is taking SIGGRAPH in a direction where none of the members want to go. It is also a direction opposite of the rest of science and academia - and common sense. What is the motivation?!

Will they require a closing down of the “Physics in Graphics” pages too? Papers referred to there are mainly published by the ACM too.

The ACM attempted (attempted meaning I didn’t put up with their shit) to charge me money to view/review the copy of my published (ACM) conference paper that they hosted. They’re awful.
