    Well-deserved. I’ve used it on more than a few occasions when I was interested in reading a paper as a civilian with no access to expensive journals. Journals make academia into an ivory tower and it’s people like her that make knowledge actually accessible to the masses.

    interesting, as her service is illegal.

    but well deserved, as it clearly shouldn’t be.
