    Also something that you should consider regarding Libgen:

    if you go to university you can get access to a lot of studies and papers through your university. This also means, that you can download them and then upload them to libgen, to make them more accessible.

      Yep, that’s a good practice as well. But make sure to clean up the watermarks that contain identifying info! (I recommend PDF-XChange for that, it’s really powerful.) Sci-hub PDFs are full of them and I wonder if the uploaders ever got exposed that way and had trouble, aside from Aaron Swartz.
