Doesn’t Elsevier understand that copyright law doesn’t work in Internet? They spent bunch of money on layers and got nothing but a piece of paper. They can’t even remove Sci-Hub from google.
- intended 9y agoThe MPAA, and the RIAA laugh and say Hi. In the many years that have passed since Napster, the copyright and patent trolls have had decent runs. Copy right supporters in particular have converted their significant capital into lobbying and political power. Many laws currently enacted, even the fight for Net Neutrality today, traces its roots back to the successful political and legal remedies applied by the MPAA and RIAA. Take a look at the state of Pirate bay, and the various torrent trackers which have shut down. Constant applied effort makes people stronger, it will also kill Sci-hub eventually.
- celticninja 9y agoIt might kill sci-hub but it will just create: 1.Something stronger and more resistant to take down 2. Many differing sites offering the same services 3. Elsevier to change they way the operate so it is easier to buy direct from them that use sci hub or the like. Not sure about your point on the Pirate bay, the site is still up and running.
- inimino 9y agoThis sort of naive "censorship doesn't work" optimism is one of the main reasons your side lost the copyfight.
- meshr 9y agoI’m on the side of the law. But as I can see it doesn’t work. So it must be changed. The lawyers do useless work. They spent copyright’s time and money without any payback. Again, Elsevier only lost their money and got nothing. IMHO, the companies like google must be responsible here as they make money on piracy.
