This doesn't seem to be working for me, when I visit some of Scribd's varied completely legitimate content.

Like this 288 page book, found in seconds on Google (does Kernighan still work there?) , which I guess must be in public domain, right? http://www.scribd.com/doc/59247191/PRENTICE-HALL-The-C-Progr...

Just how much of Scribd's value comes from books like this?



Are you outside of the US? Reluctantly, we decided to target the animation to US users because there is unfortunately little that foreign citizens can do to stop SOPA.


Personally, I had to disable AdBlock Plus and Ghostery to get it to work (plus a bunch of NoScript stuff, but that goes without saying). There's an astonishing amount of crap loaded on the page when you do all this, including the anti-SOPA stuff.
