You have to correctly cite your sources in academia mate. If you cite a pirated source you're going to get caught because such a source won't have all the required information to fully cite the original source as tho you had payed for it. You'll either get your paper thrown out for not citing your sources correctly or in the case of some profs you'd get reported to the department head
What are you talking about? It's not an avengers trailer. There is only the publiched version of the paper. What sort of papers are YOU writing? You can search any paper using its doi, you can download the citing in any format you want. What are you even talking about?
It seems you are not capable of understanding what I am saying. I am asking a simple question: how can anyone say where you got a paper or book or any reference to use in your paper. I know it is not ethical and an author down the comments suggested contacting the corresponding author or authors of a paper to get a free copy. Granted, it is unethical to download a paper without paying, but the question still remains. How are they going to find out? They can't and won't. And you don't seem to understand it.
If you're not writing your paper at the last minute, email the author of the article and ask them to send you a copy! We don't get any money when you pay to access a journal, and are elated when people contact us about our work!
