  Sure but I can get up on stage at any conference and talk about copy-righted work all I like so I don't think it matters. Copy-rights overwhelmingly are concerned with explicitly commercial uses. If I'm using copy-righted work to build up my academic reputation, I don't know if there's anything a copy-right holder can do as the link to money is too tenuous. I think all the enforcement has to come from the academic side in cases such as these where reputation is all that's in play.
