I’m in a class right now that requires a DMR locked live service textbook. I can only access it as long as I am connected to the internet. I live where 2 back to back hurricanes just hit so I expected to not have power or internet and wanted to copy some of the text from the textbook into a txt file. However, the DRM detects the copy/paste usage and limits the ability to only copy like 100 words. After a quick search I found out the dumb-asses that created this textbook site put all of the text in <p> tags in the plain html doc.
Def email the researchers, so many of them would gladly give you access to their research papers because they also hate the science publishing industry.
Yes but it could be months to get a reply. Been there.

It’s crazy how entitled we all feel to free information and news nowadays. 30 years ago you would never expect a newspaper for free but now it wouldn’t even occur to me to pay for news. Then we all wonder why the news sites all only deal in crappy click bait.
I think academia is entirely different from news. This is research often funded with public money where the article fees aren’t going to the author. Seems a lot more reasonable to demand that the public should be able to read it for free.
