Thank you, I am the world’s #1 copyright respector!
I appreciate the places to avoid!
Where can I register a domain that won’t give me up for doing something like this?
Asking for a friend.
If Wikipedia’s page on z-library is any indication, then a Tor link is probably your best bet. Absolutely shocking how they keep an up-to-date link there where anyone can see and use it.
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
Only works if you have a billion dollars though. If you do it on a big scale, they’re just going to Aaron Swartz you.
Annas archive is also good. If it still exists, I haven’t checked in a while and I recall them having some issues
Anna’s Archive is great!
It’s the opposite, AA is pretty reliable whereas Libgen (.is domain) has been offline for over a month, came back online just a few days ago.
Libgen.li is fine, but yeah, they aren’t the most stable right now.
Huge, glad to hear they are still around :D
Many many libraries have access to journals as well so check your local library!!
You’re still depriving the capitalists of their well deserved, hard earned money! (ಥ_ʖಥ)
If anyone is interested, there’s been an excellent episode recently on the “Behind the Bastards” podcast about Robert Maxwell and how he became a self made billionaire by inventing and fucking up modern scientific publishing with the support of British intelligence services.
medical and stem journals are actually not because the scientist or or university is paywalling them, but the publishing companies are. many articles are free on places like research gates but not all, yea can pirate them, if your still in a university as a student you get full access to all these journals for free anyways.
My professor just used to ask the authors of the papers for a copy. I don’t think anyone ever had any problems with emailing him a copy of their work. After all they want their work to be cited. That’s the whole point
I’ve published about 30 scientific papers, and have worked closely with publishers, both traditional and highly digitized. Scientific findings are IP, and should be protected; and costs for the publishers should be reimbursed through paid subscription.
Scientific findings are IP
Yeah, how is your research going to do any good if people can’t access it? If you want to be in the for-profit industry go work in a for-profit industry.
Found the American!
