"If you can make all the bread that the world needs by baking one loaf and pressing a button, what is the moral case for ever charging more than a starving person can afford to pay? If bread were digital, hunger would be preventable. Bread isn't but knowledge is." - Eben Moglen
Projects like Sci-Hub promote equity and make scholarly work more accessible. We need to back policies which can take the project out of the shadows. eff.org/deeplinks/2021/05/ac…
institutions were born in struggles. in order to exist they had to offer to all of us commitment, vision & mission for better society. w/o that they are empty.
those institutions betrayed the values, hope & vision for the better society. and that as a consequence creates disappointment, despair and cynicism.
we keep standing in solidarity with library genesis and science hub. ...keep water the flowers & clean the volcanoes! custodians.online/
