Thank you scihub, I credit you with my degree
Remember that guy that tried to download JSTOR and got sent to jail for like 10 years and then committed suicide?
aaron swartz. he was being threatened with time and insane fines, but killed himself before being convicted
Who do it steal from? Not the researcher certainly, they will always email you the information when you ask. It is the publisher who do nothing.
Poor lass got into so much shit 3 years ago (I think), hope she is doing well
I've heard she's fine, but that was from a post on Twitter a while ago.
She also seems based, from her (Alexandra Elbakyan) wiki: she does not want "the scientists of Russia and of my native Kazakhstan to share the fates of the scientists of Iraq, Libya, and Syria, that were 'helped' by the USA to become more democratic."
She is lol, Twitter handle of sci-hub has/had pictures of lenin. (Whether it’s aesthetic or not, it’s existence is great)
Didn't even know this was a thing, time to educate myself.
Scaremongering? More like advertising.
It is the absolute best.
Oh come on. The market is rewarding Sci-Hub for its innovation, why does the government has to step in!?
Sci hub is far more user friendly and quicker than any University library. I use it rather than log in through three different websites to find out the paper isn't as related as I thought it was. I have yet to meet anyone who thinks it is hurting science.
Sci-Hub has been described as "the Pirate Bay of science", and often receives praise for opening access to research.
In North Korea, knowledge is strictly regulated and the police arrest students for trying to learn
'Scientist pirate' sounds like a cool DnD class.
Also I can't help but imagine a scene where cops are in a car chase with people getting educated via 'science piracy' and going "Quick, they're getting educated!"

Reminds me of when that fucking soy-faced franchise novelization writer hack, Chuck Wingdings or whatever, tried to get internet archive shut down for being a free library.
