Why not create Acrobat files for papers to alleviate concerns about
infringement?  ALSB could easily create a password-protected webpage for
abstracts with links to the actual document presented at the conference.
Acrobat 4.0 allows for password protection and/or protects against "right
clicking" to select text or graphics which precludes selecting, copying or
editing text.  Registrants/attendees of ALSB conferences could be
emailed/given passwords to "open" the documents once they are back home.
