Scribd Posts A Public Apology To Vocal Critic, Then Takes It Back

A few days ago Law professor Eric Goldman wrote a vehement blog post entitled, "Scribd Puts My Old Uploads Behind a Paywall and Goes Onto My Shitlist" denouncing the recently enacted paywalls around documents older than two months on the popular document sharing site.

"[Scribd's]�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."
