Found the American!
Apologies if you're not, but surely you can see why I thought you were?
When I was a lecturer, I contacted authors of papers on two occasions (to update slide decks - the papers in question were pay-walled), and both just forwarded the relevant paper on to me. They were both British, which again makes me think there's a culture difference here.
I think for transparency, and to avoid confusion, it's worth pointing out to everyone that authors don't get paid for submissions. This isn't like book publishing. The publishers take other people's work and then make money off that. That's their business model.
Yeah, how is your research going to do any good if people can't access it? If you want to be in the for-profit industry go work in a for-profit industry.
Did you delete that because you realise how stupid the comment was? Because apparently you don't know what IP is either. It doesn't mean somebody can steal your work just because you give it for free it just means that people will be able to read it.
It worries me that you're apparently a scientist, hopefully not one in charge of hazardous materials because you sound like this sort of person that would get outwit by your own reflection.
