No wonder IEEE is so aggressive in its usage of search-engine cloaking and spamming: its publications account for the majority of its revenue, and it views a marketplace that is evolving to favor open access as a severe and explicit "threat" to its fiscal bottom line.

Who cares about science and engineering--at the IEEE, we are first and foremost a publishing business, and we're in this puppy for the bling. When we get backed into a corner by innovation and progress, we game the system to hold our market share. After all, why compete...when you can cheat?
