Quote:But perhaps he strong-armed them into a special arrangement?I doubt it. I suspect the reason publishers dislike big aggregators like academia.edu are those clauses in the tiny little print (of the aggregators' EULAs) that say, effectively 'we own it all, regardless' (what I call the 'you're my wife now, Dave' clause). Only reason I could see that they were happy for me to put things on my site but not on academia.edu.
