Hi @plutopress does your rights management stop authors from say making their own chapter of a new published book available for free online?

“As a political publisher, Pluto does recognise the importance of making some texts freely accessible so they reach the widest possible readership. Considering that ‘The Violence of Workfare’ chapter relies on a large number of statements supplied for free to the Boycott Workfare web site, we have decided to make this chapter available online at:
