It's hard to imagine how a legal service could be better than Sci-hub. You could make it as good as sci-hub, but how could you make it easier than "paste DOI -> PDF is downloaded"?
Steam beats video game piracy because video game piracy requires shit like having a torrent client or having a friend who has a copy already. Video game piracy was never as easy as sci-hub.
- edraferi 7y agoJust make it _as good_. Add legitimacy at the same level of convenience and you win.
- sitkack 7y agoI'd pay $10 a month if addition to pasting a doi -> pdf, that I could also search backward and forward along citations. I'd love to be able to download a paper and everything it references.
- DennisP 7y agoIirc that's pretty much why TBL invented the web, so you could click on references in scientific papers. It'd be nice if we could actually do that.
- CrazyStat 7y agoI'd probably be willing to pay $30/month for that. Of course they would have to actually have all or most of those backward and forward references available.
- damnyou 7y agoAs other commenters have responded, being able to navigate the DAG of citations would be a nice value add.
