It's theft. I have little sympathy for rapacious academic publishers. But that doesn't justify theft.

Good! I have little sympathy for the Sheriff of Nottingham.

You are correct Magnus: Elsevier is profiting off the research they steal from the researchers.
Quote:
the academic publishing situation is different to the music or film industry, where pirating is ripping off creators. "All papers on their website are written by researchers, and researchers do not receive money from what Elsevier collects. That is very different from the music or movie industry, where creators receive money from each copy sold," she said. To put it another way, imagine if you wanted to make a DVD of your magic act ... and the only way to do so way to pay Elsevier to "publish" your DVD ... and after you pay them to "publish" your DVD, they keep all the profits they make selling it. So who is stealing from whom?? -JoeJoe

Almost all academic research is done by people who are paid to research. Why should they expect to get paid a second time for the research they were paid to do? 2. Most research (in the West, at least) is funded by grants. When the researcher applies for the grant, publication and conference publication are among the "deliverables" the researcher promises. While funders could stipulate open source publication or some such, they don't. Stealing from a company you don't like is still stealing.

No - researchers are required to publish their material so it can be peer-reviewed. Until their work is published, it is worthless to everyone including themselves.
To put it another way again: the only way you would be allowed to do a magic show is if you paid Elsevier to publish your DVD first ... and after you paid them to do so, they kept all the money made from your DVD ... rendering your magic show worthless anyway, because everyone else has already paid Elsevier for it. A mafia style extortion racket. Ultimately, it is about the money ... money or research?? Because that is what we are talking about ... the cure for Polio was given away for free, and unlike most cures sold today it actually worked. -JoeJoe

What are you saying "No" to, JoeJoe?
BTW have you ever published academic research? Or been awarded a research grant?

I am saying I agree with Alexandra Elbakyan that Elsevier's business model is an illegal money racket. Your statement that the researcher is paid to do the research doesn't change that, it only means Elsevier is stealing from whoever paid the researcher.
Further, in order for science to come up with cures for diseases, the research must be shared so it can be peer-reviewed and verified. The idea of hiding scientific research that affects every single human being on Earth is unethical on multiple levels. For example, what if your doctor had you taking a cancer drug and the research that shows this drug does not work is not made available to your doctor?? Are you willing to die in order to protect Elsevier's money?? I'm not. -JoeJoe

So this is a change of heart. Just a few minutes ago you said that Elsevier was acting illegally. Glad to see you've changed your tune on that. As for the UN Declaration of Human Rights, you've got me curious. Which article(s) of the Declaration do you believe that Elsevier (or any other academic publisher) is violating?

She makes the claim that "everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits".
Do you actually believe that this justifies theft? Why stop at academic research? If the argument is valid, then there can be no justification in charging fees for movies, plays, music, museums, magic shows... You seem to want to protect your magic show, while agreeing with this silly interpretation of article 27. of course, she prevaricates with Quote:
She also explains that the academic publishing situation is different to the music or film industry, where pirating is ripping off creators. "All papers on their website are written by researchers, and researchers do not receive money from what Elsevier collects. That is very different from the music or movie industry, where creators receive money from each copy sold," she said. But how this is relevant to the claim that "everyone has a right to participate..." is beyond comprehension. If people have a right to the articles, it can't be contingent on how much the creator gets paid.

It is not her "claim" or a "silly interpretation" - it is an exact quote from the actual Declaration. Again, do your own research.
