The fact that we have to low-key pirate research papers is just silly, though. The academic publishing system is just goofy, and I hope one of the projects that are currently trying to establish something better ends up taking hold soon.

It isn't piracy, all the publishers (in my experience & field of study) allow for free third-party hosting. Still agree with your second sentence though.
