When I click on the link I get a page telling me to sign up for Google Docs. Don't they provide a read-only interface for public viewing?

It asks for user login when it detects an old google cookie (not being logged in). When properly logging out via "log in as a different user", it shows the document just fine.
At least that was the case for me. Which is a weird behavior.

Trying to access the document while denying cookie access for google.com
seems to trigger the login prompt too. Permitting the cookie lets me view the document.

It doesn't really seem to scale...

Google doesn't scale? That's a surprise.
But yeah, there seems to be a limit of 48 simultaneous viewers, sucks.

That's because Google advocates "share as a web page" for wider sharing. That is lighter on their servers, but this document wasn't published that way.
