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.

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?
