"I've even heard of academics who had to redo pretty much the identical experiment because they couldn't even cite their own earlier results for fear of a copyright claim."

Then either you're being lied to, or those anonymous academics are idiots. You'd think the educated, especially those involved in publication, would understand at least a little about fair use.
