I have a rare medical condition that makes my coughs sound like “scihub” and “libgen” around undergrads.
I would like to investigate it further to seek a cure, but sadly the medical journals I’d need access to are paywalled. Oh well.

Is that Marianne Faithfull?

Yes, and Alain Delon on the left. Not sure she was completely faithful, but I think Jaeger didn’t care.

Man Eric Clapton looks sad

Man, I tried so hard to not ruin the joke, but I can’t stand Mick Jagger getting confused with that right-wing nutjob, so fuck it:
That’s Mick Jagger as JSTOR, not Eric “Asshat” Clapton

Q: Why is a raven like a writing desk ? A: Sci-Hub.(Munin for memory;)

“Piracy” is a propaganda term. We shouldn’t use it. There is nothing wrong with sharing files.
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 7 months ago
We’ve long since reclaimed the word, though. It’s not called The Sharing Bay, after all.
That’s my Care Bears only private tracker.

I think it’s easier for a person to say “piracy is bad” than “sharing files is bad”. Because why would sharing be wrong? But if you give it a bad name, a lot of people will automatically assume that it is something bad. It’s a simple trick, but it works. If we want to change the way people think about copyright, we shouldn’t let anyone imply that sharing is the same as stealing ships and murdering people on them.

While I agree about reclaiming the word, what OP is talking about is not what a reclaimed word accomplishes. A reclaimed word is about empowerment within the group. OP is talking about selling the concept to the public at large.

Especially since a great deal of that research was performed using public funds.
Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Exactly, this research was funded by my tax money but I’m not allowed to read it unless I pay some third party profiteer? That makes no fucking sense

So you don’t mind when companies share files with your data?
orangeboats@lemmy.world 7 months ago
But personal files are… personal?
Research journals are published. Public.
lemmeee@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
They shouldn’t collect data in the first place.
