Summary:
"An archived copy of the CopyTalk webinar 'Open Access ‘Pirates:’ Sci-Hub and #icanhazpdf as Resource Sharing' is now available. Originally webcasted on February 2, 2017, by the Office for Information Technology Policy’s Copyright Education subcommittee, this webinar was one our most popular CopyTalk of all time.
Presenters were Carolyn Caffrey Gardner from California State University Dominguez Hills and Gabriel J. Gardner from California State University Long Beach. They showed their latest research on who uses Sci-Hub or other guerrilla fulfillment sites and why. In addition, they describe the various ways people use and build guerrilla sites, both centralized (active and planned deployment) and decentralized (crowd-sourcing). Is this just a supply and demand issue, or is something else afoot?
