[open-science] UK text mining exception: sci-hub

[Jackson da Silva Medeiros]

Let me put my 50 cents problematization: So, if I have cable TV, and
I pay for that, and I like to watch Simpsons at night... But, I got a
dinner with friends and, DAMN IT!, I lost the best Simpsons episode
ever... If I get home and download the episode from a torrent, am I a
lawbreaker? 

Just curiosity by analogy.

yeah, just because you have the right to get something via legal means
doesn't mean you also have the right to get it via illegal means just
because your legal source ist kaput temporarily.

hypothetical situation I describe is: UK-based researcher, has fulltext
access, cannot get fulltext due to technical circumstances that make
crawling hard. So, I understand from your reply that the copyright
exception applies only if you get the papers through legal means. Makes
sense. It doesn't apply to me, I just asked out of curiosity. Thanks!

you to get papers from sci-hub. You always break the laws of the country
where you are located, and those who believe are harmed by your action
have the recourse to sue you in your country because that is where you
have broken the law.

about copyright, sorry, and just out of curiosity: If a UK-based
researcher is crawling papers but has trouble getting them because of
anti-bot techniques (e.g. Karger), is it legal for her to crawl the
papers from sci-hub instead?
