The 21st century: the time of "notorious illegal shadow" libraries, full of copyrighted documentation of publicly funded research.
- refurb 3y agoTextbooks aren't publicly funded research. And writing a brief summary of publcly funded research is actually new content. It's a massive stretch trying to tie publicly funded research to this.
- musicale 3y agoSci-Hub is more like the library of publicly funded research. And of course it is similarly pursued.
- refurb 3y agoSure, but at least the arguments there have more merit. Trying to use the same arguments for textbooks falls flat.
- chaxor 3y agoResearchers often write book chapters in the same day along side their research papers, so it's not like these arethat different. Effectively they're similar to review articles. Still mostly publicly funded.
- refurb 3y agoIf someone write about a topic and produces new content, that is not the same as publishing publicly funded research. People wouldn't read review articles otherwise.
