Actually, not anymore. Scientific publications, at least in the West, are increasingly stipulating that they have complete, EXCLUSIVE rights over the paper (even though the researcher pays THEM to publish it). That would mean that as soon as they sign the contract to publish, the researchers themselves distributing that paper is illegal. It's total bullshit.
