This seems to be only the first para. Has anyone put the whole article online anywhere yet?

Edit: Never mind. Firefox just wasn't showing me the scrollbars for some reason.


The version I see on scribd ends with :

"The adult entertainment industry is always, in many ways, on the forefront of technology, so if they can use something to their advantage, like an open hosting platform, they jump on it pretty quickly," he said. For Veoh the move to remove adult material was the right one, Mr. Shapiro said. "Nobody wants to be branded an adult Web site -- unless you're an adult Web site."

My favorite part is on the right side of the page:

"This copy is for your personal, non-commercial use only. To order presentation-ready copies for distribution to your colleagues, clients or customers, use the Order Reprints tool at the bottom of any article or visit:"

Does anyone involved with scribd care to comment about how they deal with copyright issues such as this exact article?


i must say i wasn't a fan of scribd until yesterday scribd came really handy when i tried to share a .pdf file and to my surprise Acrobat Reader wasn't installed to the friend I sent it.

I didn't write this but I clicked on Most Liked of All Time and this was on the second page:

Shouldn't the title read: "Scribd in the Wall Street Journal in Scribd"? :-)

"Scribd (which rhymes with "cribbed")"

Huh. I had no idea. I was always saying "ScrEYEbd", which I think sounds better.
