If pg doesn't delete your comment, isn't he guilty of the same thing as The Pirate Bay are being charged with? (actually I guess he is protected in the US unless he gets a DMCA notice?)

It's only the journal publishers that try and protect the content. Sometimes you can find papers under journal firewalls on the authors' academic websites.

Just upload it to Scribd with a new account.

Thanks Shamiq. I've sent you an email.
