This violates our copyright. Please remove the draft. The drafts are not secret and we generally let people share hard copies, and sometimes we place drafts on our website where they may be downloaded for a fee. But we do have a copyright, which is clearly marked on the draft, and we enforce it??and are particularly concerned when people place the drafts in places where others may then send it to thousands of their closest friends. ALI depends on our copyright to pay the light bill, and we also like to control distribution and use of our publications for other reasons.
