This shit ass site proposes a paying plan for downloading student notes and I'm so fucking tired at the idea that they basically got a monopoly on it. How can I download the docs?

Based on the website his professor(s) are definitely making side money forcing students to pay to download their notes.

No idea if that is legal for them to do or not but it is shady as hell.

Dont just consider if its "legal". But also if it is aligned with institution policy.

Depending on the details maybe it would be the kind of thing theyd have to declare when publishing? Like as a conflict of interest.

Could be other equity type avenues depending on details.
