Việt Nam nằm trong Top 20 nước tải nhiều tài liệu bất hợp pháp nhất từ LibGen cùng các nước giàu như Mỹ, Đức, Anh, Canada, Pháp, Úc, Hà Lan.
Tuy nhiên, nếu không có cơ sở hạ tầng thích hợp để hấp thụ tri thức, việc truy cập miễn phí tài liệu không giúp ích nhiều trong việc thu hẹp khoảng cách về tiếp cận và khả năng tạo ra tri thức mới.

Library Genesis is one of the oldest and largest illegal scholarly book collections online. Without the authorization of copyright holders, this shadow library hosts and makes more than 2 million scholarly publications, monographs, and textbooks available. This paper analyzes a set of weblogs of one of the Library Genesis mirrors, provided to us by one of the service’s administrators. We reconstruct the social and economic factors that drive the global and European demand for illicit scholarly literature. In particular, we test if lower income regions can compensate for the shortcomings in legal access infrastructures by more intensive use of illicit open resources. We found that while richer regions are the most intensive users of shadow libraries, poorer regions face structural limitations that prevent them from fully capitalizing on freely accessible knowledge. We discuss these findings in the wider context of open access publishing, and point out that open access knowledge, if not met with proper knowledge absorption infrastructures, has limited usefulness in addressing knowledge access and production inequalities.
