Interesting that publishers would play ball with scribd, whose business model features selling access to pirated documents.

- drharris 13y agoThey just turned those former pirates into a revenue stream. It's a good business move. Either spend tons of money litigating pirates to just have them go somewhere else, or at least make some money off of the inevitable.
- panzagl 13y agoYeah, but these pirates put their own DRM on everything and generally get in your way as much as any publisher paywall. This is more like hiring Hell's Angels to provide event security.
- chaqke 13y agoIt seems that scribd's business model now more prominently features selling access to publisher content - seems like a fine decision to me.
