Perhaps the greatest problem of the modern world is the control of science by the massively exploititive publishers of papers. This is amassively profitable rip off. Gislane Maxwell's dad, Robert Maxwell, a public figure from Britian's murky past, set up this thing initially. Odd how it all circles around.
 
Sci-Hub is one of the greatest gifts to humanity ever and the people who run it are literal saints.

Scientific paper publishing companies provide no added value and none of their profits are passed on to the researchers. They're leeches and any attempt to circumvent them is fundamentally moral.
