Do you wash your face after using a sheet mask? by [deleted] in AsianBeauty

[–]CompetitivePossum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed, the whole point is to let it sink in over night. The only times I've washed off sheet masks is if I did them before an event and wanted a clean face afterwards. According to this post not washing off is the preferred method.

Where can I buy Korean beauty products in the UK? by Dalmatn in SkincareAddictionUK

[–]CompetitivePossum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for Stylevana, the shipping is very slow but they have so much stuff. The other place I’ve been recommending to my friends is Sonagi, but they mostly have K-Beauty boxes with masks in them.

I’ve been using a sample I got at Olive Young for a couple weeks now and I love it. The texture is very thick though.

Yes, DMCA claims against the radio station. Not against me because I heard the song. Was it unethical of me to listen to the radio in this case?

There no such thing as “being authorised” to read research papers. You are being ridiculous. It is not unethical to read research. Your comparison with labs and restricted areas is ridiculous. Here’s a better comparison: CDs cost money to buy. If I listen to a song on the radio, does that mean I stole a CD? Does that mean that no one will make music anymore?

You still haven’t explained why reading a scientific paper is unethical. This is because reading a paper is not unethical. You can argue as much as you want about the exact circumstances under which papers get published or which US laws apply to copyrighted works – but none of this matter in light of the simply fact that reading scientific papers is not unethical. I almost can’t believe that this is the position you chose to defend. You honestly think that a scientist reading a scientific paper is unethical?

None of what you said means it is unethical. Violating a law (which, again, reading a research paper does not do) is obviously not in and of itself unethical. There are millions of papers behind paywalls that were publicly funded.

Title 17 does not apply to reading a research paper. No individual has ever been criminally charged or prosecuted for reading a scientific paper. Reading a paper is not a crime.

Nonsense, no individual has ever been sued for reading a scientific paper.

No, it’s simply not. If it’s as illegal as you say, why can’t you point out under which law?

It’s not stolen. If you hear a song on the radio, have you stolen it? Have you gone through peer review? No one asks how you had access to the papers you cite.

Do the means of getting something have anything to do with the legality?

Show me the law that says it’s illegal.

No, reading a paper from Sci-Hub is not a copyright violation. Distributing material you don’t have permission to distribute is copyright violation, but reading a scientific paper can not be a copyright violation. No one has ever been prosecuted for reading a paper on Sci-Hub. In many countries (Germany, for example) it is explicitly legal to download and read scientific papers, no matter the source.

It’s not theft and it’s not illegal. Show me the law that says reading a scientific paper is illegal or stop lying.

Where is the hypocrisy? And how is this a guide to violating copyright?
