No and yes. You can already find all that kind of shit on #bookz and similar sites.

Yes it would be illegal. One of the co-founders of Reddit actually got prosecuted for doing a large dump, and committed suicide:

>On January 6, 2011, Swartz was arrested by MIT police on state breaking-and-entering charges, after connecting a computer to the MIT network in an unmarked and unlocked closet, and setting it to download academic journal articles systematically from JSTOR using a guest user account issued to him by MIT.[11][12] Federal prosecutors later charged him with two counts of wire fraud and eleven violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act,[13] carrying a cumulative maximum penalty of $1 million in fines, 35 years in prison, asset forfeiture, restitution, and supervised release.[14]

HAHAHAHA he got totally BTFO what a fag!

>He committed suicide while under federal indictment for his alleged computer crimes.[15] Swartz declined a plea bargain under which he would have served six months in federal prison. Two days after the prosecution rejected a counter-offer by Swartz, he was found dead in his Brooklyn apartment, where he had hanged himself.[15][16]
>In June 2013, Swartz was inducted posthumously into the Internet Hall of Fame.[17][18]

Internet Hall of Fame? For what, killing himself after fucking his life up totally beyond any hope of repair?

the idiots who think they can keep a lid on digital information need to just die off already or create better business models already, there's the greatest widespread ability of all time to spread information and they just want to hinder it. movies, music and books still haven't adapted at all but at the very least video games have through distributors like Steam

is it illegal to just download a ton of journal articles and not share them?

also, why the fuck would you do it from a closet in the school???

>>8738339
Honestly, I doubt he would have gotten a serious punishment. They probably were just trying to scare him and get him to plea bargain, and make an example of him. It's confusing that he killed himself, since this was ostensibly a premeditated act of civil disobedience and he should have known what would happen.

>>8738361

Nope, he turned down a six month plea deal, he was heading to federal "pound me in the ass" prison for the next three decades.

Lol

Could depend on your jurisdiction. Broadly speaking, downloading isn't a crime unless you share/upload. But if you are downloding via a torrent, you are uploading at the same time automatically and you can't switch that off. But use a VPN and no-one can see your activity. Check it's a VPN that doesn't keep logs. Useful news articles at Torrentfreak, and I believe there's a Redditt about torrenting as well.

>>8738313
sci hub already does this

>>8738348
He probably set a small script to run automatically and left a computer in the closet. He didn't sit there like some academic paper-goblin.

>35 years in prison
>for copying some 0s and 1s
>pedos, rapist, and murders get less time

Setting an example much?

>>8740275
I guess it sort of backfired now that he's a martyr.
