Is there a regulation/law that governs or prohibits the sharing of closed access articles to individuals who privately request for? As a researcher, I would love to have my work read, but at the same time I want to adhere to the rule of law. Any thoughts?
My question is this: Imagine that you have published article under "closed access" but someone sends you a request for the article. Are you allowed to share the paper with this person or not?
Thank you

Is it better not to share closed access published documents in public sharing websites such as Researchgate or LinkedIn?
