probably pay-wall protest. At the very least its a "try-me" position to see how companies who implement pay-walls respond to this obvious outcome.

- komali2 9y agoI have no problem with protesting pay walls, I hate them too. However, correct me if I'm wrong, reprinting wholesale a journal's article is a copyright crime in the USA, is it not? Or I guess it constitutes fair use somehow?
- etjossem 9y agoYou are right. Also, the wall of text can be a little annoying. So I recommend accessing this article via https://t.co/GVSZAdt6EV https://t.co/GVSZAdt6EV (the link from Ohanian's Twitter post), which doesn't paywall it. As a submitter doing a workaround, I'd much rather find a legit link to a non-paywalled version of the article, instead of copying content.

- komali2 9y agoTrue, I speed all the time!
