Does this happen in realtime? I read that sci-hub sometimes uses credentials from legitimate users, but in that case they would be easily identified.
So, perhaps someone with access submits papers on request? And if so, what about watermarking?
- _delirium 9y agoPlenty of the papers I've gotten from scihub are watermarked. The "downloaded by [IP] at [timestamp]" footer could probably be stripped, but they don't appear to do so, or at least not consistently.
