>Piracy? Seriously? I hope you know researchers paid good money to put their papers in that journal who you're STEALING from.

Unironically, does anyone actually oppose scihub? Also, why aren't there any female wojaks? Really makes you think.

If all information were totally free and accesabble to everyone human progress would be faster. Wouldn't it? Shouldn't it? And on the same note, If everyone smart would have acces to an education, wouldn't that speed up human progress? I'm not much of a leftie, but i have always been for some kind of intelligence based scholarship, or just free education. Even the dumbest people would be less destructive if they were properly educated. Point being... information and education should be free, and maybe we could spend more on research grants and education and less on retarded shit and them programs.

The law is more nuanced than your meme image lets on. Intellectual property is real. Imagine working for 10 years inventing something and some guy who's already made in life pays a middling tier brain to reverse engineer it and starts mass production in his factory.

Piracy would be ten times more hilarious if it was literally theft. Springer and Elsevier are that big of turds.

Lol, OWNED. Sounds like something that's not our fucking problem.

I pay for everything I pirate after I make money from having used it. I have no moral inclination to take a gamble as to whether I will find a particular piece of information, or software, valuable, before I know what it is or what it can do. So if I can get it without paying first, I will.

I was with you up until this point. I'll let you ponder on why this might turn out badly.

I've never had a Sci-hub article blowup in my hands. Ok, I've never had a 3D printed gun do it either but it's somewhat common if you don't get all of the variables just right.

Artificial scarcity hurts innovation so you can have totalitarian control of your imaginary property. It's brainlet tier economics.
