WTF? WTF?
Ok wtf back at ya. I call your bluff and raise you.
I can also assert hundreds of statements for which I can offer no evidence.
So piss off with your attitude. And merry christmas !
Now let's see some evidence.
Y'know, there's scepticism and then there's just being lazy.
Go to
www.jstor.org, click on "Terms and Conditions" and you tell me
what 2.2 and 2.3 say.
I think 2.2 (i) is particularly relevant:
"download or print, or attempt to download or print, an entire issue
or issues of journals or substantial portions of the entire run of a
journal" - whether that refers to the images or the contents seems
moot really.
I would like to point out here that there are other databases that are
generally free to use:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrophysics_Data_System
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PubMed_Central
Are the two I most often use.
Though others, like the Nature archives, are still difficult to access:
http://www.nature.com/nature/archive/index.html
Nicely laid out, but once you get to the issue you want, you still
invariably hit a paywall.
ps: your civility levels in these two messages are
somewhat below
suitable levels for the list, and I wouldn't mention it except I've
already had complaints this quicly.
It's Christmas. Don't do anything based on what was said to me. :-)
