- JoachimSchipper 15y agoIIRC, scribd claims the right to (re)publish uploaded material, and will automatically put submitted material behind a paywall. It's also theoretically possible for the submitted material to rank above the author's home page, which is not necessarily desirable (if only because updates won't be available). In short, this is not as innocuous as you think.
- gamache 15y agoThe Google-juice argument is slightly convincing, but any right to republish the document remains with the original copyright holders, no matter what Scribd claims. (Consider YouTube in a similar position.)
- JoachimSchipper 15y agoConsider e.g. the people holding copyright on popular movies uploaded to YouTube. Their rights are still protected, but filing all those takedown requests is a major pain. (Which is not to say that I agree with all of their attempts at "fixing" this.)
