It actually doesn't work so well, unfortunately. Picture this: 3 million books, at least one CID each (in practice it's often multiple, since the libgen collection uses a chunk size of 256kb). Section 3.1 of the paper talks about

IPFS is a protocol like bittorrent. The only way to make content inaccessible is to go after the people/computers that are sharing that content.

All of library genesis is already available on IPFS (see https://freeread.org/ and https://libgen.fun/dweb.html ). Hopefully someone will import this collection into libgen and then these books can be on IPF

This is nice and all, but there's no valid justification for any of the material in the digital library to be locked behind a paywall in the first place. Most of the research published by ACM was paid for by taxpayers, and authors ha

The academic world is too entrenched in the established order, and while many inside it would agree with you, the incentive structures in place often work against individual action like this because the first priority is usually publishing
