I did a search on an obscure topic I like and got impressively well informed results, so hats off to you. If this isn't an awkward question, how does one avoid running afoul of Google's rules against crawling when implementing a service like this? If someone were to post a link to a report obtained through your service on a blog or something, would that be a good thing in your view or more like piracy?

That's awesome! We're just putting publicly available information (abstracts aggregated by the nonprofit Semantic Scholar) through a smarter and better search process, so there's no issues with Google. And we absolutely encourage sharing, people post our search reports and send them to colleagues all the time, so please go ahead on that front.
