You're still depriving the capitalists of their well deserved, hard earned money! (ಥ_ʖಥ)

If anyone is interested, there's been an excellent episode recently on the "Behind the Bastards" podcast about Robert Maxwell and how he became a self made billionaire by inventing and fucking up modern scientific publishing with the support of British intelligence services.

I've not listened to that episode, but I remember that when I first learned about Robert Maxwell's legacy, I was astounded by also unsurprised (because it made a lot of things make sense in hindsight). As an ex-academic, I'm especially pissed off.
