[Air-L] Elsevier is taking down papers from Academia.edu

[Robert W. Gehl]

Setting aside individual publishers' rules about posting pre-prints to a
/personal/ site, I've wondered for some time why publishers have not yet
gone after Academia.edu, which is not a personal site, but a centralized
social network built in part on top of a lot of copyright violations.
It's YouTube all over again.
