    This makes Anna’s archive a bit problematic with that logic since when you pay for a paper you get a PDF copy?

      These companies maintain that even though you possess a PDF, you still do not own it and do not have the rights associated with ownership.

        Well no, but in the same spirit of how you don’t own a movie just because you bought the DVD? I mean there are few things you actually own after buying them

          I’m not sure what you’re buying, but I prioritize purchases of things I will actually own and therefore do own most of the things I buy.

      I would consider it more problematic if the author of the paper got any of that and not the journal the author had to pay to be published
