Protest agains Elsevier is growing

The protest against Elsevier continues and seems to gain momentum. There is now a dedicated web page where researchers working in any field can sign up to lend their support:

As of today, 10,284 individuals have already signed up (the list on the web page can be searched by name) and I have added my name as well. Elsevier is only one publisher that deserves criticism and boycott, of course. But it seems to be one of the worst for reasons that are explained in a nice article by Cambridge Mathematician and Field's medalist Timothy Gowers. A PDF can be accessed here:

Macmillan Publishers Ltd, the publisher of the vanity journal Nature and its derivatives, would be another obvious choice (see the discussions at the University of California to boycott these journals).
