- lallysingh 14y agoSome of the links on the site just link to the ACM page.
- jdale27 14y agoI don't get it. Are you suggesting one can't link to a paper on a completely legit MIT site, because a version of the paper was later published in an ACM publication?
- brudgers 14y agoNo. I am stating that the copyright status of the files sitting at the end of my links is unknown. They may be hosted legally with the rights holder's permission. They may be hosted legally under fair use. On the other hand, general access could exceed fair use - e.g. the hosted copy was made for archival purposes of a licensee. Or the hosted file could simply be an illegal copy. While hosting at MIT has some correlation with legitimacy in this particular case, it in no way insures it. Right now, the papers are there for anyone with a web connection. The risk of breaking that far outweighs the benefits of fixing readscheme.
