I just found out that there's even a Netiquette RFC! Read here:

Well, since it's also on Citeseer it's not absolutely necessary, but 
having some redundancy is good. To answer your earlier question, 
since this is a published article, the publisher probably has all 
distribution rights (that's just how it works, the publisher gets 
your article peer-reviewed and published, you give up all rights to 
it). Publishers want to keep this monopoly, since it's their source 
of income, so they don't allow others to distribute information. 
AFAIK, Citeseer checks back at the site it got the article from 
regularly, and will remove the article from its cache if it's no 
longer available, sort of like the Google cache.

That said, it's not very likely that the publisher will sue you I 
think.
