Academics, I beg you. Please put copies of your published papers on your website, arxiv, whatever. Not only because it's great for the broader world beyond academia (who can't get behind paywalls at all) but it just took me 15 minutes to try to figure out how to log in to some particular database to get a copy of a paper. I don't even like the 3 minutes it takes to log into the ACM DL versus copying a title into google. Follow copyright rules but you can almost always post SOMETHING somewhere.

Additionally, even the biggest aholes like Springer would blanch at trying to enforce copyright on your papers that you put on your web site.

Because they know that if they started enforcing that they would die as nobody would ever publish with them again.

@cfiesler Springer, Elsevier, and Institute of Physics Publishing all have licence terms (for the green OA route) that give authors more generous rights to distribute on a personal website than on an institutional repository.

@only_ohm @ncweaver @cfiesler You know, this makes me think that iframes are the right tool for this.
