Yes, it’s free – but the way in which they’ve set up the site makes it really difficult to disseminate papers elsewhere – as I said in the post, there are no permanent links.

isn’t the APSA “proceedings” site free?

I don’t know about APSA, but a lot of organizations make money selling things like standards documents and conference proceedings. Letting people post pointers cuts directly into their (perceived) revenue stream. APSA presumably assumes that their papers are so good that anybody who’s interested in the subject will be willing to cough up a few bucks. Their institution pays for it anyway. Like you said, counterproductive.

At the risk of diverting this thread before it even gets started, I’d like to take a moment here to mourn the end of comments over at Matthew Yglesias’s site.
