You nailed it, I wanted to post the actual article but found that they where behind a paywall, and I don't know if pirated content is allowed to share here but it's definitely worth a read though!

It is often not piracy to find open copies of papers; the authors often publish them directly (on their personal pages or on arxiv). A commenter further down found a public link: https://math.uchicago.edu/~shmuel/Network-course-readings/Ma...

  • Yeah, most authors are not concerned about their papers being shared because what they care about is citations, not money. It’s the publishing companies that want to put up the paywall (and the ones who would make any money from it anyway).
