The final paragraph explains in detail why the document is not on the web, and provides instructions on how to get it. Plenty of people have found this, we get one request for it every 20-30 min.
I quote from the article:
"NOTE: Research Paper Available: Magdalena Urbanska and Thomas Urbanski's original research paper, complete with eight pages of mathematical proof, is available. This paper was delivered at the ARF/Esomar Conference on Research into Worldwide Audience Measurements, June 2005. Because of patent and copyright restrictions we cannot make it freely available for download over the web -- we need to identify the individuals who get it. However, if you would like a copy, please contact me and I'll arrange to have one sent to you."
- my email address is included via links twice in the article, together with a link to my site.
It is obvious to me that you have not read the article this discussion forum is about. If you had you would have seen that I clearly indicated that I was not the author of the research paper, but merely a journalist reporting the research. Under such circumstances your statements about me making a stand against ESOMAR's policies are simply meaningless. It is poor scholarship to make public comments about articles you have not read and you are merely showing your lack of intellectual rigour to the world. Please reserve your pity for yourself - you need it more than I.
The terms of copyright are set down by ESOMAR as a condition of submitting research papers at their conferences. It is their condition that any papers delivered at their conferences become their copyright and they control distribution. If you have a problem with that I suggest you take on the increasing commercialization of academic research caused by the reduction in government funding. It ain't our fault.
Here's the URL of the organisation which hosted the conference.

Here's a news article about the conference:

The research paper is not available on the internet because it is under restricted copyright. Not everything of note is available for free on the internet.
I would suggest you bother to take a little more time to look into things before you accuse people of hoaxing. Don't trust Google to provide every link to everything on the internet, they don't visit every site every day.
