What is this "pay for research paper" crap that's going on online??

[acemcmac]

I am NOT going to pay 5$ dollars just to get a physical copy of your stupid fvcking research paper so I can quote it you stupid assholes!!!!

Information is free! I won't pay the RIAA! I won't pay the MPIAA! Why should I pay you just because you happened to write the perfect <sob 🙁 sob> paper that happens to agree with the postition I have been assigned for this FVCKING$$$*(*&%(* term paper due at 11AM :| :| :| :| :|

Our national view of 'IP' has been down the tubes ever since that term was coined.

He didn't say plagarize...he wants to quote and properly cite another's work.

Read young spider, read.

the abstract is public. I'm just going to cite that....

paper in question: http://papers.nber.org/papers/w5613

I can't for the life of me understand why a paid professor would have the gaul to ask money for research that could be so interesting to the general public... I got the scoop on it from this CNN money article

I'm bitter because I don't have any information that's worth anything.
