Academic Papers

'Stealing' papers is illegal. Please don't do it: you are harming the scientific community, in which you presumably have some scholarly interest, if you do.

Educational institutions and libraries usually offer a wide range of journal and database subscriptions as well as paper archives. Further, some academics (at least in the Arts) are prepared to release papers freely, sometimes by publishing in one of a number of open access journals. You may also wish to consider contacting the authors of articles directly, who may be prepared to release manuscripts, abstracts or summaries for your review, or even discuss their work with you directly.

yeah but india-niggers and redditors want information (or is that knowledge?) to be free!

Piracy is a community issue that can have serious implications for the continued development of any field. It can discourage speakers and teachers who are interested in proper attribution and making money via copyright protection from writing books in the first place, with the result that what they have learned in the course of their careers is lost to the rest of us. Here are the steps that have been most effective in combating book piracy.

Students who can't pay for an ACM membership, or whatever, should not be disallowed to obtain scientific knowledge.
How is it possible that our society consider sharing a number something illegal? the dogmatic idea of digital data being property will not last much longer. Even though morals will always guide individuals to do the best they can for the progress of the human race, so that if they can contribute then they should contribute.

Students who can't pay for an ACM membership should just make their own field of scientific knowledge without stealing it from the people who worked hard

Even though morals will always guide individuals to do the best they can for the progress of the human race, so that if they can contribute then they should contribute.

So why don't these individuals make their own way instead of stealing from the people who have already worked hard and proven themselves?

Students who publish papers don't earn revenue directly from people reading them, so you are not killing initiative nor was there any monetary incentive to publish them in the first place. They are there so their work becomes known and subject to peer review (and get grants)IHBT.
