Libgen had a 502 error a couple days ago. Glad to see them back.

Anyway completely opposite as one of my teachers. I had to buy my teachers book for his course. The book he gave us was a binder with photocopied pages... Wtf?...

You own the fucking copyright. Give it to us for free.

It truly baffles me how teachers could morally justify that. I would immediately think "Wait, if I make my students buy my textbook for the unit, I'm just fleecing them and they have no choice in the matter." and you would naively hope that anyone else would also feel the same way.
