On: The Elsevier boycott one year on

[scott_s]

I think there is a clear distinction: Elsivier cannot go to an open access model, because it would cease to exist from lack of revenue, while the ACM and IEEE can continue to exist with an open access model because of membership dues.

The ACM already makes a lot more on conferences than dues, I think.
