marcustacon, 3 months ago Always #pirate scientific papers. You're not stealing from scientists. The journals are, and unlike EVERY OTHER PLATFORM don't give a penny back to "creators". Yes, that includes #openaccess journals. Piracy lets us demand reform. If a journal deletes its archive (see: https://scholarlyoa.com/oa-journal-stops-publishing-deletes-website/), most of that #science is gone forever. Piracy lets us preserve it for prosperity. Even earning nothing is better than paying for what #YouTubers get for free, and doing for free what they get paid for.
