    Well-deserved. I’ve used it on more than a few occasions when I was interested in reading a paper as a civilian with no access to expensive journals. Journals make academia into an ivory tower and it’s people like her that make knowledge actually accessible to the masses.

      It kind of feels somewhat analogous to reddit, scientists provide articles (data), reviews (moderation), and the journals tax access to the result of all that while providing very little value to the whole process and trying to maximize value.

    interesting, as her service is illegal.

    but well deserved, as it clearly shouldn’t be.
