I've enjoyed much of your past research on cybersquatting, bad whois information, typosquatting, and censoring of websites in different countries, and other topics. It appears that investigating spyware has lead you to a whole different type of practice with cloaking. Your paper does a great job of explaining how cloaking works, and giving the practice a little sunlight so that it can be exposed to a wider audience. You would suspect at the very least that a licensing agreement either from the publication where the articles originally appeared, or from the authors of the works would require a display of title, author, and so on. Thanks, and keep up the good work! Hi Ben,

They confirmed that the article copies were not authorized. I gather authorized reproductions would always include the original title, author, date of publication, publication name, and copyright notice. None of those details were included here.
