Therefore, should the results of all research be made free and public? I was hoping we could allow people to pay if they wanted but also get it for free, and have both be legitimate.
Big and famous universities have deals, but not the rest, which is the reason why scihub exists in the first place. Maybe publishers should up their game and provide near free access to any PhD student or higher and a better uptime (people laughed at the fact that scihub+libgen hack was more reliable than springerlink).
Students would pay a little fee, if that doesn't impede their research too much.
Also I was thinking of a time based value. Papers / Journals older than X years, or that have already received a fair amount of fees could fall into free access. That could make students looking for alternative or forgotten ideas more motivated.
