Irrelevant and also wrong. Knowledge does not exist without humans' minds to understand and remember them, which are scarce, therefore knowledge is also scarce

Incorrect. There are many mechanisms to enforce the ownership of an idea or knowledge.

Knowledge exists independently of humans. If this were not true then the extinction of the human race would cause the universe to immediately morph into a meaningless blob of chaos as the last human mind expires. Knowledge is discovered, not created.

>Incorrect. There are many mechanisms to enforce the ownership of an idea or knowledge.
As you stated earlier, the ownership being asserted is not over an idea but over the human mind. The gangsters you are referencing are claiming that they own part of your mind, and part of your body. It is slavery, and it is Evil.

>It does, for example when a commercial secret is stolen by a corporate spy by another competitor, thus halving your profit.
Non sequitar. Reducing the value of the utilization of an idea on the open market does not reduce your ability to utilize the idea. The market is made up of people, and to claim that you 'own' part of the market is equivalent to claiming that you 'own' part of the human populace. Again, slavery. Evil.

The structure of reality does not imply ideas exist. Language is a set of symbols through which ideas come to reality. Without humans languages don't exist and the universe still keeps running.

>Knowledge is discovered, not created.
Abstractions are created, not discovered.

I concede that point.

>The gangsters you are referencing are claiming that they own part of your mind
I'm not referencing the State, I'm refering rabbinical authorities, which are the spokesmen of God in this realm. You are not the owner of your mind, your body, or even your soul, you are using them as a borrower.

>It is slavery, and it is Evil.
Who defines what is evil? A man? A man says the opposite. Both are still just the opinions of men.

>Reducing the value of the utilization of an idea on the open market does not reduce your ability to utilize the idea
It does not, but it cuts your profit by half by illegal means (corporate spying), by means that were not agreed upon by both parts, this is fraud.

If ideas "come to" reality it necessitates that they must exist in some place outside of the physical manifestation of temporal reality as we know it before being channeled into physicality by a human agent. God created these ideas and the methods by which humans interact with them, not man. Therefore it is madness to prolaim that a man "owns" a supernal ideal simply because he happened to be the the first to channel it in his community.
And what exactly are you claiming ownership of when you say that you "own" knowledge? Surely not the divine supernal Form that you are channeling, since as stated before others channeling the same form does not cause change to the Form in the slightest. You are in fact claiming ownership over your fellow man's ability to exercise their God-given gifts in a certain way.
>the products in the market aren't the people buying them.
Correct, which just further solidifies my point. By "stealing" an idea, you are not stealing a product. You are simply stepping into a market that other person has a monopoly in, and this person is then using violence to drive you away. If this act is to be morally justified, it must be said that the patent holder "owns" the market. Markets are made up of people, and you cannot own another person, so this is impossible.
>Who defines what is evil?
God. By denying reality through lies you are denying God, since reality is an emanation of God.
>but it cuts your profit by half by illegal means (corporate spying),
In this instance spying is the crime, not the use of a specific idea.

Ah, finally, I made someone from sci recognize a counter-example to materialism. Yes, that is correct, if something exists outside of their physical manifestation, it implies materialism is false.

> God created these ideas and the methods by which humans interact with them, not man. Therefore it is madness to prolaim that a man "owns" a supernal ideal simply because he happened to be the the first to channel it in his community.
You're missing the part that God also gives those ideas to whoever He wants, and also takes it always from whoever He wants. He has a set of laws and rules though to administer justice, and the rabbis will determine whether the idea was stolen or not.

As of now, the current understanding of orthodox rabbis as far as I know is that since copyright is the law of the land and it does not contradict the Torah, it has to be obeyed too.

>By denying reality through lies you are denying God, since reality is an emanation of God.
Be careful with that line of thought since it can lead to heresy

>In this instance spying is the crime, not the use of a specific idea.
Correct, and the author of the pdf i linked discusses rabbis' position on copyright and piracy. The rabbis argue on the basis of breach of contract or dishonest business practices. Inside each book there is a part that specifies the trademark of that book's edition which tells you what the producers of that book allow you to do with it and what they do not allow you, if you disobey the conditions layed down by the producers of the book you are committing a breach of contract, which is considering stealing in Judaism and thus you will lose all the money you earned due to your stealing and if not, you will not be able to enter Heaven until you have payed every cent back.

If the research is funded by the American tax payer, why should private companies have copyright.

I used to aswell. But some books got wiped out and others changed the pdf donwloading to a "borrow the digital copy for 1 hour" shit.

At this point I'm even more convinced of the actual intent to limit the availability of books or information.

I asked HaShem for money to buy books, and he never responded so I pirated them instead.

You need to have more bitachon in HaShem

Remember this week's parashat, where Abraham simply believed HaKadosh BaruchHu and this counted as his merit.

I recommmend this series to strengthen your emunah and bitachon

Everytime I use sci-hub I get either a not found or a blank page, and I have tried all libgen mirrors(7 days ago tho) and I couldn't connect, and yes I tried the onion site in both cases.

>Some of us are out of that jerking circle since a long time ago. And access to academic material out of academic own-fart-smelling-environment is stupid to say the least. If not it's ridiculously unaffordable or not even possible to get.
Not that guy, but why would you wanna have access to academic journal papers if you're gonna use them to pad the word count on your research papers and essays for class?
Most research out there involves insignificant little pieces of information that are of interest only to 7 guys at most in the entire world, 6 of whom got into it because they were meme'd into those subjects by their PhD thesis advisors for the sake of not doing exactly the same thing everybody else in the field is doing.

Books anon, I was talking about the books.
Beacuse some people just read them. Books are for reading them, not only to decorate the bookshelf of a professor office. If one has the ability to read certain topic with some understanding it's foolish choose not to.
And please don't start with the utilitarian argument of "why would you do X if you don't do Y, what's the use of this, yada yada yada" crap. Just not your business.

This is definitely a problem, although it can often be fixed by checking one of the mirrors. There are usually a few copies of scihub up with different urls. Also, you often need to try both the DOI and the article title. I often find that one works but not the other.
