- pfdietz 3y agoIf you violate a copyright and are taken to court, you will find yourself caring very much. arxiv.org is being sued for things like this, so I have to question why they'd host this.
- kwhitefoot 3y agoBut I still won't care that it is under copyright, I will simply feel aggrieved that the law is, again, an ass. As for why arxiv.org does it, perhaps they are taking a stand. Sometimes the only way to overturn an unjust law is to violate it and the laws that support it. Compare the mass trespass on Kinder Scout organised by the British Workers' Sports Federation [1] and of course the suffragettes [2]. I'm not personally brave enough to take such direct action but I applaud those who do.
