I'd love to see DOI automating a copy of each entry to archive.org. This would improve the likelihood of them remaining available.
Sure, it would make grifters like Elsevier mad, but scientific knowledge worth a DOI entry shouldn't be limited to a for-profit organisation.
Edit: Worded first para badly. I meant anything assigned a DOI ID, regardless of where the work is hosted.
you're thinking of scihub. if you have some 130 TB? of spare storage you can mirror their entire repository
So you can mirror all of it for about $2000?
elsevier doesn't want you to know that, but you can download sum total of human knowledge for free. i have 3924 papers
