Bad advice for scientists
-
the absurd part is that researchers and peer-reviewers often don't even get paid for their work.
the privately owned journal sacks all the profit.in my opinion, the universities and public libraries should take it on them to publish their own journal. this makes sense since it is already part of the university's job to distribute knowledge (by educating students). and a journal is just that: a way to distribute knowledge.
having third-party publishers that are specifically not affiliated with any org that produces research was supposed to prevent biases in who and what gets published and provide a kind of standardized system for determining the quality of a paper / peer-review process /etc and allow for comparison across the whole scientific community. It has since been corrupted for profit takers. I am liking the idea of integrating into the public library system though..couldn't be a university library though because again, biases.

Over the last few years, my pirating became minimal, only a few times a year, when I couldn't find it on streaming.
I find myself going back to pirating recently, for the simple reason that I WANT to screw over these propagandistic megacorps in every way possible. Fuck them, I'm not paying for it, I'm stealing it, and feeling really good about it.
Sometimes I download it and then delete it, so that I can download it again! Mwahahahahaah

You might have to switch your DNS to one that doesn't block based on copyright
(e.g. Cloudflare: 1.1.1.1)
Actually i think the effort they are making is cool. It goes well beyond piracy and I think is a good idea esp in face of the world rn.
Fuck, which DNS blocks pirate sites? I've never heard of this before.

What's the current way I shouldn't be priating, I hear isp's LOVE it when people torrent. So I'm guessing that's what I should be doing huh?

Many researches will just send you the pdf if you ask for it.

Keeping it on your drive so you can seed or start a new torrent would do more damage. If you are able do to so.

Libgen.li is fine, but yeah, they aren't the most stable right now.
.li is maintained by an another group so it usually still works when .is doesn't; most of their database is the same. Unlike .is they have some pretty aggressive advertising on there, however, popups and stuff.

Just make sure you avoid getting in trouble by using the facebook strategy of downloading so much that they shrug their shoulders instead of prosecuting
The guy who started doing this (downloading academic articles and making them freely available en mass) was actually driven to suicide by a court case, so be careful with that.
While he was alive tho, Aaron Schwartz was one cool dude.

Researchers often pay to have their work considered for publication.

I've never done torrents, I don't even know how. I've always used forums. Bolt was the best one for many years, but they closed shop a few years ago.
