Today the House Judiciary committee heard testimony on campus filesharing, a lately hot topic as the RIAA intensifies its lawsuit campaign against students. Apparently a maker of a device designed to monitor campus network communications also gave testimony as part of the hearing.
All this goes to say that it seems my paper is extremely timely and relevant. So I was wondering, can someone with access to Lexis and/or Westlaw check and see if my paper is available on them? I'm still working on getting it on SSRN, it's on the Journal's website, it's posted here, and it's good to know that it's now on Lexis and Westlaw services and searchable for others who may write on this increasingly topical area.
Edited.

It is available on both Westlaw and Lexis. And it's an interesting paper, to boot!

Now that it's up on SSRN, you should take it off your site. Since you may want to teach someday, high download numbers will be useful to you.

I'm not sure it matters. I think academics will read it off of SSRN because it will come up on SSRN searches, and those are the download figures that probably matter most. But ordinary people won't read off of SSRN, although they might read it off my blog. I wouldn't want to trade in reaching a wider audience just to futz with my download stats.
Plus, since it's also on Wexis, people may be reading it there and I have no way to affect those numbers. And, anyway, as long it's being read *somehow* I'm happy.
