Does this apply for academic links as well? I.e. can we post a mirror to a paywalled study?

Apparently yes, think what would happen if HN would lose Nature, Science, Cell, IEEE, etc. original content!

Several of those don't have real or full paywalls anymore.

I was thinking more of Elsevier, which actively sues websites that publish mirrors of papers (see https://torrentfreak.com/elsevier-cracks-down-on-pirated-sci...).
