I’ve heard people mention curl and imagemagick. Any others that you know about?

    Sci-Hub anyone?

    Alexandra Elbakyan manages this truly awesome source of scientific papers completely on her own. She got sued twice and lost, had to change the URL multiple times due to takedowns and only gets along by donations.

      It is a crime to humanity to lock knowledge behind a huge paywall. She does God’s work.

      And it’s not like the actual scientists/academics support knowledge being locked away either, or profit from it.

      She’s the best thing that’s happened to the s scientific publishing field. I’m no longer a student but I still enjoy reading scientific papers and I’ll be damned if I have to pay $20 per article (which doesn’t go to the authors) since I no longer have access to a library that maintains relationships with these big publishers.
