Scribd Puts User Docs Behind A Paywall Without Them


Realizing It
from the totally-not-cool dept

Last year, I wrote about some issues I had with the way Scribd tried to avoid liability by suggesting
that public domain documents couldn't be hosted on the site or that fair use was not allowed. To the
company's credit, it responded quickly and fixed the situation, but soon after that I switched to
(mostly) using Docstoc to host documents. Doctstoc has its own problems as well, but for the most
part has worked well for me. Still, in my experience Scribd is still quite popular among folks -especially for uploading and hosting legal documents. Apparently, the company recently made some
quiet changes and it's seriously pissed off law professor Eric Goldman, who has relied on the site
for quite some time.

The key problem? Without clear notification, it took "older" (and older is left undefined) documents
and put them behind a paywall. As Goldman notes, the whole reason he used Scribd was to make
the documents available, and it was quite a shock to suddenly find them behind a paywall:
Scribd's paywall stunt instantly put Scribd on my shitlist because it vitiates the reason I chose to
use Scribd in the first place. I don't know that they ever promised me perpetual free access to the
documents I post, but their value proposition always has been open access to the documents--freely
shared with everyone and indexed in the search engines. The paywall destroys that value
proposition. They've taken the documents that I wanted to freely share with the public (many of
them public documents like court rulings and filings) and made them inaccessible. If my readers
can't freely get the documents I wanted to share with them, then what's the point of using Scribd in
the first place???
I also feel like Scribd used me. With their implicit promise of open access, they got me to share a
lot of high-interest documents and generate lots of link love, then they flipped the default (from
free to paywall) as part of a cash grab. I could check out of Scribd, but then I would break a lot of
links and it would take a lot of time. So now I feel trapped. It's a terrible feeling.
Goldman is looking at other options, including Docstoc and Rapidshare. Another one worth checking
out could be Slideshare, or even potentially Google Docs. However, all this has me thinking again
about the wisdom of relying on third parties for such things (even though I do it myself). I do like
the ability to display PDF documents, such as legal filings, embedded within a post, but I'm
wondering if there are any simple solutions for setting up that sort of thing on your own server.
Anyone know of any?

Scribd - Seems Obvious


There are a lot of seemingly smart people doing dumb things. Do people really believe that they own
their own information when they willingly and freely give it to somebody else that they have no
control over? Does this really make sense to anybody?

Here's the debate, Mike:
Either you PAY for the privilege for it to be private or you make it freely available under what they
call "ad-supported" but, it's actually paid for with tax dollars.
It's what's called the Tax-funded "CIA-interwebs-gotta-get-em-terrerests-by-selling-snooping/trackingtechnology" business model.

A lot of room in that space


I'm not sure why the Wordpress model isn't more widely used. You essentially have three options - free
and limited hosted at wordpress.com, paid and supported hosted at wordpress.com, or free and
whatever you want hosted yourself.
Document hosting or nearly any sort of web application could function the same way. With the cost of
cloud storage dropping daily, it seems like someone should be able to make this model work for tons
of useful things, like embeddable PDF hosting.
I'm currently accepting venture capital to get right on this.

Know of any?
If you don't mind using Flash, then one option is to go with FlexPaper. It's exactly what you want, but
though it claims to be "GPL v3," it's really not (you have to display their logo even on modified
versions, and you can't use it for free on a commercial site). Might be worth the $70, though.
There's also SWFTools, which includes PDF2SWF, and is completely open source. However, this
generates a distinct .swf file for each PDF, so I don't know if it's the right solution.
If you don't want Flash and your site is uses PHP, you might be able to hack something together
using Samuraj Data's online coverter and embedding the HTML in an iframe.
There's also CynergyPDF, but it's only for Joomla-powered websites.

Have you thought of the idea of PAYING people to host your documents so you can make them
available for free?
You put your documents in the cloud for free then they have no value and you can't really get upset if
the people you gave them to choose to do things with them that you don't like.
You don't get stuff for free - and if you're dumb enough to think that you do then you deserve
everything you get. Apparently our "law professor" shouldn't really be trusted to make adult decisions.

I use something called FTP. It's reliable.
Steps to replicate:
1.) Buy used computer on craigslist.
2.) Install TFTP server.
3.) Connect to interwebs via wired cable (So the Google Car and their legal team that's driving by can't
steal your info!)
4.) Sign up for GoToMyPC and give all your students the login and ability to remotely read the

5.) Proceed to Cheezburger.

Re: Re: Karl


My issue with FlexPaper isn't with the product, which actually looks very good (and worth the $70 that
Mike would have to pay).
The issue is that it's supposedly GPL, even though it's not. If you look at the FSF's Categories of free
and nonfree software page, it would actually be what used to be called "semifree software," and is
now just called "proprietary software."
Still, that's an issue for the FSF to deal with, not us.

Yes. Rightsholders are free to set any price for their work including the ability to distribute their work

Re: Re: Re: Re: Karl


Yes, but unlike FlexPaper, Flowplayer allows commercial use, which is a requirement of the GPL.
From their FAQ:
I'd like to license my code under the GPL, but I'd also like to make it clear that it can't be used for
military and/or commercial uses. Can I do this?
No, because those two goals contradict each other. The GNU GPL is designed specifically to prevent
the addition of further restrictions. GPLv3 allows a very limited set of them, in section 7, but any
other added restriction can be removed by the user.
(Emphasis mine.)
But I guess you're right about the requirement that the logo stay in place. You learn something new
every day, I guess.
We're probably just picking nits at this point. FlexPaper seems like a good program, so even if it was
proprietary, it would be worth using IMHO.

No, it allows commercial use. Read what the site says.
"This is the appropriate option if you are creating a commercial website and you are not prepared to
distribute and share the source code of your application under the GPL."
http://flexpaper.devaldi.com/license.htm
You can use it for commercial use but you must then release it under the GPL-V3. If you want a
different license that allows you to use it for commercial use and keep what you made a secret then
you must buy that different license.
Same thing if you want a license that allows you to bundle it with proprietary software.
"This is the appropriate license to use if you intend to bundle or ship FlexPaper as part of a product."
It's released under the GPl-V3, you can do whatever yo want with that provided you maintain the
license because the license requires that you do so. If you want a different license, if you want a
license that allows you to do something without maintaining the Gpl-V3 license, then you must pay.

Re: OBJECT tag?


Does anything prevent you from storing the files on your own server and using an OBJECT tag in your

The fact that users must have the Acrobat plugin installed. Naturally, this causes browser
incompatibility issues. See the "Compatibility" section of the PDFObject guide.
Incidentally, PDFObject seems like it would be useful if you want to go this route, as it gets around
most browser limitations using JavaScript.
But I should note that I have Acrobat installed, and I can't view the PDF in my browser (Chrome), even
using PDFObject.

There's also one other, possibly major, drawback: No search engine will index anything in an OBJECT
tag. Of course, that applies to Flash as well. If that's a worry, you'd have to convert the PDF into HTML
before displaying it.

Lots of people disable Adobe Acrobat from automatically opening documents in the page because of
all the vulnerabilities and critical bugs it has.
Plus, it loads very slow and would annoy users if you embed 10 pdf files on a single page.
Flash is more reasonable as I can just use the Flashblock extension for Firefox to block all flash on the
page and, if I'm interested in seeing the PDF file, I can just click on the flash icon for that object and
unblock it without reloading the page, and I can then see it loading in the Flash object on the page.
