What if I upload a paywalled article to Scholarcy, is it violating copyright laws?
As long as you have legitimate access to a paywalled article, you can upload it to Scholarcy without violating copyright laws. Scholarcy is a summarization and article management tool, not a distribution service.
Scholarcy does not store the PDF of the article after generating the flashcards. Scholarcy only extracts the key information from the paper in the form of the interactive flashcard. This is considered ‘transformative use’ under US copyright law.
