I totally agree that she just liberated it. But since many lawsuits said she was “stealing” from them, and people who don’t know the details at first glance may think that too. So I think the headline is correct in a news sense. And the article is very accurate and favorable of her.

And she still doing it. And still pretty much alone in doing it.

That’s fucking great that your profs even recommended it!

I’m gonna look up Anna info next. I don’t know anything about her either.

I could almost see sympathize when it came to paper publishing. Because the cost to publish was high, and not a lot of people buying. But now with electronic formats, yeah, they are total assholes in the current sense.

I get so pissed when I think about Aaron Swartz. He was a bit before his time. I’d love it if here were still around. There would be so much more people rallying behind him these current times.

Yep, I just found out about it recently because I was doing research on a project. I had heard, but never explored or looked into, sci-hub. I had no idea about it. I don’t know how I missed it all of these years!

I realize this is an older article from 2016. But it’s just so good, I had to share it in case some here aren’t familiar with her. Her name is Alexandra Elbakyan and she’s the person behind Sci-Hub, a library website that provides free access to millions of research papers, regardless of copyright, by bypassing publishers’ paywalls in various ways.

And she’s my personal hero. :)

This is scary stuff. Anna’s Archive is one of my fav places.

Because everyone with common sense got tired of Reddit’s bs.

replying randomly to one of my posts, using an alt I haven’t blocked yet. Dude has problems.

So lemme get this straight. You name me in a post. And you are mad because I randomly replied to another post on another instance. And that means I have problems?

Say wat, mate?

Feel free to stop mentioning me in your posts if you are so annoyed with me, friend. Thanks!
