I don't know, this article is explicitly about the problem of trying to link to something you find valuable but its supposedly durable url has been taken offline.
The DOI is supposed to ensure a copy can be found, if it fails to do that in 30% of the cases it's not a very useful, regardless of if a copy exists somewhere online.
- toomuchtodo 3y agoOne of the few useful cases for IPFS tied to DOI.
- rysertio 3y agoipfs can be inaccessible due ipfs bridges blocking the request.
- toomuchtodo 3y agoYou can programmatically cycle through bridges, or connect directly to IPFS nodes. Importantly, it’s content addressable; as long as you have a hash, you can find it somewhere (assuming sufficient object coverage).
- jszymborski 3y agoI will say that DOI.org isn't the only dDOI resolver and that sci-hub in many ways behaves like one.
- kragen 3y agowhile of course you should only do this if you are in a country where it is legal, you can look up a doi in libstc.cc, sci-hub.ru, or annas-archive.org
- titanomachy 3y agoAre there jurisdictions where merely accessing this content is punishable by law? EDIT: genuinely asking, I know very little about IP law.
- kragen 3y agothere are jurisdictions where making a copy of it is, even for personal use, but others where it is not
- InSteady 3y agoI assume viewing a PDF in browser is generally safe everywhere as long as you aren't downloading to HD or cloud? Or is even this activity realistically dangerous without a VPN in some places?
- kragen 3y agoi don't think it's dangerous (even torrenting it isn't dangerous) but i don't want to recommend doing something illegal even though it's totally safe
- overengineer 3y ago"Viewing something in the browser" is technically downloading. Law system is too archaic to understand how internet works.
- kragen 3y agothis can vary by jurisdiction
