    But it takes more effort to confirm a tangible source than one on the internet?

      Not really. Just sail the high seas with Library Genesis or Sci-Hub. The nature of being published is being non-editable, a digital copy is an okay compromise.

      EDIT: There is an issue of trust in piracy, though hardly in practice, but Open Access should help with this.
