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.
@cfiesler in case you’re not aware of that, in France we (in public universities and research institutions) are required to publish all our work on the https://hal.science archive. In most case we can put a modified version of the final version of papers as the copyright laws only give to the publisher the layout of the paper and not the content. It’s only the French production but I think it’s a very good national rule that has been taken (one of the few ;-) )
