No they don't!!
If you gave me a million scientific articles in PDF form that were previously unavailable on the open web, which could be redistributed without legal problems, then I would host them somewhere and pay for it until the day I die. The benefit to humanity is way bigger than the trivial cost to me, and I also gain some much needed geek karma :-) Are there any LWers who wouldn't do the same?
You're a good human.
Wait, what do scientific articles have to do with paperclips?
Not that I disagree.
You don't know what scientific knowledge has to do with making more paperclips from the same inputs? Are you a dumb human?
