Do I keep the rights to the documents I publish on Scribd?
Of course. When you upload something to Scribd, you retain all rights in perpetuity, including the right to remove it from Scribd at any time. You grant Scribd only the right to host the document until you choose to remove it. If you choose to, however, you can give other people limited rights to share and reproduce your work by publishing it under a Creative Commons license.
