They could easily use this to track who is uploading papers to shadow libraries and slap them or their institutions with huge lawsuits.

For-profit publishing has no place in modern #academia.

I agree with you that for-profit publishing and academia are not good bedfellows, and I generally think copyright is broken in more ways than one. The issue for me is given the current legal environment, this seemed a simple way to address unauthorized duplication that doesn't involve DRM or other surveillance tech.
