I was able to read only the abstract - "Rent or Buy article for $8.99". Brings up the question, what does "rent an article" mean ?

- progbits 5y agoI suspect some shitty DRM that gives you access for a while with attempts to limit your ability to save, copy or print the article? Scummy practice nonetheless. Sci-hub doesn't have this yet but I expect it to appear there soon enough.

- ianferrel 5y agoIt says you get access to it for 48 hours. So, same thing as renting anything else?
