@williamgunn Research is pretty much the paradigmatic example of fair use
Also, “the people and systems required to provide the services” no doubt includes the authors of the papers and their research equipment and facilities, which receive $0 from the scandalous fees the publishers charge
@magitweeter @williamgunn @yabellini yeah this. Very often, this is even publicly funded research that the publishers just charge ridiculous amounts for, while all they do is distribute a few megabytes of data. Neither the authors nor the peer reviewers get paid anything.
