I surely hope that there are mirrors of that data being created and saved 
everywhere. Paywalls in science have always been deplorable and have been 
avariciously supported by the vast majority of the scientific community. Once 
upon a time that is no longer there were costs associated with publication of 
science. There can be no reason to allow and sustain the billion dollar science 
journal banksters game.

A researcher in Russia has made more than 48 million journal articles - almost 
every single peer-reviewed paper every published - freely available online. And 
she's now refusing to shut the site down, despite a court injunction and a 
lawsuit from Elsevier, one of the world's biggest publishers.

 

Interesting finding. I was unaware of this site.

 

I am sympathetic with Alexandra Elbakyan's cause.  It is frustrating not to 
have ready access to a number of cold-fusion-related papers that one sees 
reference to from time to time.  But I don't see this case going the way she 
hopes it will.
