The goal of the MIT hacker-for-free-research-papers guy didn't really
seem to advance either science or equality all that much, even
ignoring what he was doing was illegal.
A researcher will google up a lot of papers of interest but often the
abstracts have the most valuable information.
Abstracts contain the interesting concepts and effects and even more
important, the terms you need to google up more public material on
wiki.
This is particularly true for an inventor trolling for ideas. He
would spend his time more wisely just reading a lot of abstracts and
never paying $25 for a single paper.

free FREE is not worth the price of admission.
As her song sings... "if you liked it, then you should've put a price
on it."
As you know, I do not make the rules, but the Rulers impose their
taxes upon me us we and themTheTheyThemselves. Free means zero.
Enjo(y)... Cheers...
