It is the photo of a person with long dark hair, colourful shirt, and wearing a pirate hat. To their left, the logo of Sci-hub. To their right, that of The Pirate Bay. Over the image float several sentences in white with black border:

And if you don’t want to be gay, be a straight criminal and pirate all the science
Being gay is totally optional, but recommended lmao
As a researcher I always make sure that there is at least a preprint available for download, and always try to publish my research in open access journals (which is much more expensive).
I will be glad if someone pirate my papers, it is a corrupt system in many ways.
I get to be gay while doing crimes? Hell yeah
As an academic, yes, please pirate stuff.
Fuck parasites publishers that make profit on our unpaid job and gatekeep knowledge.
A nice read about publishers profits: Against Parasite Publishers: Making Journals Free or if someone prefer the newspaper format
Don’t even have to do crime. You can usually email the author, and they will send you a copy, quite legitimately.
I’ve done it myself a few times.
That kind of work flow is ok if you have good access to subscriptions but need one obscure paper. Its not an efficient or reliable work flow for many and largely excludes older papers.
It’s not a one-size fits all, that’s for sure. But I have no subscriptions to anything, and I wouldn’t describe anything I do with “work flow.”
It also rarely works for any paper/article older than 20 years.
Heck, my sister’s asked me to get papers she’s co-authored off of scihub for her, and those have been published within the last 10 years
I see you never learned the dark art of Mail Merge!
fuck yea crime is bad ass but I can’t load the picture here i have no idea what this post Is about
