I had a post edited to exclude the name of a well known site which makes academic papers available for free. As I recall there was no link. I also expressed an opinion about the operation of the Copyright law in the area of academic journals and the public interest, and my quote was edited to exclude this opinion. Mobileread chooses to err very much on the side of caution, which is regrettable but quite understandable. I choose to abide by this policy, but we should not delude ourselves. There are important and legitimate opinions on copyright which cannot be expressed on mobileread.
