Sharing Uni Journals online
Hai guise!
I don't know if you have heard (assuming you're American), but Uni tuition fees are increasing anywhere up to £9,000 in the UK, and it is pissing off a lot of people - so much so that they are putting on yellow shirts to march around Parliament!
Anyway, I wanted to actually achieve something and undermine the Uni system instead of pretending to be a lame fuckup "child of the Revolution" (as Facebook puts it)
So to the story -
I have access to literally every Academic Journal ever printed, mostly in digital format (.PDF) as part of my Uni fees. I have started sharing them via BitTorrent and wondered if there were any requests or tips. I edit the metadata from the .PDF files and take out anything which could identify me, so I have covered my arse in that way, and as they are only 1-3MB in size, they get seeded pretty fast.
Good idea? Bad idea? Any tips? Requests? I can get most subjects, not just History, although that's my speciality.

What subjects are available? Upload them on major filehosters too.
If there is a better way then can someone let me know? Cheers.
Sorry, double post.
I use this for history journals, but they also contain economic, social, political articles etc. Some others include:
Zetoc, Westlaw, SPORTdiscus, Ebscohost, Periodicals Archive Online, Parliamentary Papers, International Index to the Performing Arts, FAME, Electronic Journals Service, 18th and 19th Century Parliament Papers, Business Source Complete, British History Online (all types of media here), British Humanities Index and Academic Source Premiere to name a few
You in the UK?
Something wrong with journal articles? I love them, even though I don't understand a lot of them
A mate of mine graduated from a University (College?) in New York a few weeks back. Looked pretty sweet.
And yeah, Journal articles can be confusing at the best of times, but they have a blurb (usually) and as long as you know the context/background, then you're usually alright. Lecturers (well mine at least) pretty much jerk off over them, so the more Journal footnotes the better! :fap:
How would you make money from Rapidshare? And if the end user has to pay them I'm not interested. It's all free in my eyes.
