Why comply with unjust illegitimate laws created to serve a monopoly? Why comply with a framework designed not for your benefit or societies benefit but for the purpose of maintaining a monopoly on others peoples labor, socializing cost and individualizing profit. Laws are not created for the people and by the people, they are made by corrupted individuals for those with the most wealth and power, complying with them is no better than complying with any other sort of violent oppression. |

It’s not unjust illegitimate laws, it’s a largely valid contract you entered into and by which you are very naturally bound. There’s nothing morally wrong about “don’t use this access we give you to download everything”.
If your laws are, for whatever reason, unjust and illegitimate, then fix that instead of fighting against those laws by downloading papers from Elseviere o.O

I don’t get what you’re trying to say. Are you saying the profit from scientific work lies solely or even largely in bulk access to the papers produced by that work?!
> Laws are not created for the people and by the people, they are made by corrupted individuals for those with the most wealth and power
If that is the case, then this is squarely the fault of “the people” to allow that to happen.
> complying with them is no better than complying with any other sort of violent oppression
This is not about complying with laws but complying with a not morally outrageously wrong contract between two private entities.
You are trolling, right?
