Re: [LIS-Forum] Sci-Hub
by Vinit Kumar 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

As far as I could understand, the author questions about availability of a similar platform like Netflix for academia where all the journal content providers put their content and let individuals subscribe and access the content. Netflix and other platforms came into existence due to the failure of earlier business model(outdated) of content distribution that was highly challenged by piracy. Also the consumers wanted to pay for only the content they really use. The author is inquisitive of, why academic content providers can't build such platforms and are still stuck to old business model of dissemination?
