Authors' movement? Reviewers' movement? Librarians' movement?
Authors' union? Reviewers' union? Librarians' union? Stopping a system
of taking authors work, not paying reviewers and taking funds from
users, authors, libraries for a minimal service. On second thought,
who wants to start a publishing company? Maybe a joke or maybe we need
author cooperatives.

Mark your calendars for the February 2 CopyTalk, “Open Access Piracy:
Sci-Hub and #icanhazpdf as Resource Sharing.”

http://www.districtdispatch.org/2017/01/upcoming-webinar-uneasy-sharing-aka-piracy/

Many of you have probably heard about the infamous SciHub website that
provides free access to costly scholarly journals that libraries often
buy. Our speakers will discuss the use of popular resource sharing
methods like SciHub that may violate copyright and database terms of
service, including what these users think of the potentially copyright
infringing action that they take. This webinar will include a review
some empirical evidence that places these non-library resource sharing
methods in context with their legal library counterparts. What
motivates people who engage in this resource sharing? Do they have
access through libraries? And what are the implications for libraries?
