Of course, for-profit scientific publishers like Elsevier filed lengthy letters against this. One would think that non-profit professional organizations like ACM would not have such a short-sighted, rent-seeking position. Surely they would put the advancement of human knowledge ahead of their revenue streams? Well, no. Perhaps not so surprising, given their previous actions.

Very informative. Incidentally, I think the journal/conference reversal is quite specific to computer graphics (in fact, maybe even specific to the SIGGRAPH conference); other areas of computer science mostly follow the same convention as other fields where journals are the more prestigious place to publish and conferences have a lower bar and are often used for student and preliminary work.
