Legality aside, has there ever been an instance of a researcher getting a DMCA notice for posting a paper they wrote on their own website?
Even if you got a DMCA, couldn't you just direct link to a scihub search result that contains your paper?
Edit: I love it when I find my work on scihub. It means it was good enough to 'steal'.

- mandor 8y agoMost journals are OK with authors posting a paper on their own website, especially the 'pre-print' (pre-review, pre-layout). See: http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/index.php http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/index.php (even Nature is OK for all the pre-prints, arxiv and your own website).
