One of the services MO secured when migrating is dedicated staff to deal with copyright issues and to handle takedown requests. So, as far as we are concerned, the isn't much to worry about until users start abusing MO and do excessive amounts of file sharing. | |

| Sep 4, 2013 at 19:04 | comment | added | Andy Putman | There are also serious copyright issues here. Usually you have permission from the publisher to post your published papers on your own webpage and on repositories like the arXiv and certain institutional archives, but probably not on MO (and certainly you do not have permission to post other people's papers on MO). In general, I think that you can safely give references to the published literature here and assume that people have access to a library. But if your question requires reading a specific paper, then it probably is not a good fit for MO. | |
