How might this work out for science publishing ... if you own huge publishing libraries, allow temporary borrowing on say 4 hr max. Data miners could use this to collect say aggregate stats but relinquish any copies after that 4hr period.

They won't allow that, because they know someone would just torrent it immediately. There are ways to detect and remove watermarks. I don't think they'd go for that. DeepDyve is not really a solution... they just post up images of all their papers, and then charge you per-paper accessed anyway. But on top of that, they go ahead and make it into an image (rather than a file with words), which makes it even more useless without OCR or something. blah
