"At a time when technology makes it possible to share research more
quickly and broadly than ever before, and when innovative automotive
research is a matter of global concern, SAE is limiting access to the
research that has been entrusted to the society. In addition to imposing
DRM on access to the papers for paid subscribers, the SAE also prevents
information about its papers from being found through any channel other
than the ones they control."
