Although open-access advocates and library groups support the move, opponents argue the new policy will limit researchers’ ability to maintain control of their published work—and cut into the $19 billion academic publishing industry’s profit margins.

From what I understand, researchers already aren't able to maintain control of their published work because of the publishers.
