Sci-Hub: Public access to research papers
ELI5: I&#x27;m not from academia so please help me understand. Are researchers who publish these [firewalled&#x2F;copyrighted] papers likely to lose out on their earnings if this is &#x27;open-sourced&#x27;? I&#x27;m honestly asking as I try to think through the whole &#x27;open-source&#x27; paradigm and how it fits in a (mostly) capitalist, libertarian world. Thanks!
