Good idea. That was an interesting video. He gave a different perspective on things, which was refreshing, even if I disagreed with him on some things.
Satoshi could have found them digitally through academic search engines through a higher education institute, or through piracy websites like gigapedia which were popular at the time. Physical possession of these papers and books was possible, but not necessary. TIMESEC's website may have hosted Massias paper at some point, but this hasn't been verified, and may be worth looking into.
gotcha... pretty early for ~2009, I guess. Also, it seems fairly clear from the article/past that he wasn't an academic. (Could have had regular state library access, of course)
some new information has come to light. the article will need an update or part 2, but generally everything is still correct. some fun new details are now apparent though.
Could have been academically affiliated, a former student, current student, graduate student, professor, visiting professor, lots of options. Stornetta's theory though is that he was very likely some kind of software developer though, with novice status in cryptography. Probably not a professional academic though (PHD level).
Could be a good one for @satwize to try to get their hands on.
Interesting research.
Some are still available on amazon and ebay for a decent price. just make sure its a 2005 version, as there's now 3 editions.

But what does it say about BIP110
lol... WWSD -- what would Satoshi do?
pray*
How did Satoshi physically get ahold of those papers, if indeed they are that obscure AND he wasn't in attendance at that symposium?
