This situation sounds similar to the 2001 Tasini Decision that affected online versions of the New York Times and other newspapers. That decision as many of you know prevented those newspapers from including some free lance articles in their online versions since those authors had not given permission for such use.
It has affected certain years of the NYT and other papers in that I have come across such articles that could not be found in the online versions of the papers. Back to the microfilm versions for those articles. I believe that now the papers make sure to get that permission when contracting with free lancers.

Hi all,
Has anyone else come across a situation whereby an aggregator has not been able to provide full text access to a single article in a journal issue because the author has retained copyright? I honestly don’t think I have (until this morning!) and am slightly concerned that this might be a common occurrence.
Thanks.
Best wishes,
Sarah
