Due to ACM protecting American business interests in cases such as this, as a member I give priority to people not from USA and if there is a choice, people not from EU.
Most researchers from USA and EU do not understand that $15 per paper for reader access is way too much, that $99 for professional access is way too much, that SIG groups should not organize events in USA only, and when they organize event they should choose places that well connected to most of the world, and that do not have too strict visa requirements for researchers visits to scientific events.
- kick 7y agoTo be fair to the ACM, they do have cheaper rates in developing countries: $99 won't apply to you if you're outside of North America or Europe. Still a profiteering organization, but they've thought this out a little.
