Nov 8, 2017 at 18:34 comment added Mark Many researchers and universities aren't biggest friends of publishers and therefore may not give a ... ... about some of the limitations publishers try to lay upon them.
Dec 4, 2015 at 13:04 comment added ypercubeᵀᴹ I find very little resemblance between software I cracked (or movies I illegally downloaded) and a published article that I spent days or months to write.
