I think if anything the article is biased in favor of Libgen. Some of the quotes from the publishing industry are just stunningly tonedeaf and the sort of quotes you use when you want to let your subject hang themselves. For example: '“People often say to me, ‘You don’t pay the authors. You don’t pay the reviewers. You hardly print anymore. The Web is free. Why do you charge?’” said H. Frederick Dylla, the former director of the American Institute of Physics and board member of the Association of American Publishers. “It sounds like a compelling argument. But it actually isn’t.”' or this one: "“So is it fair then if some high-school student wants to really follow the Supreme Court and doesn’t have the money to pay?” Greco said. “Life is a bitter mystery. We can’t give everything away for free. It’s not that kind of country.”" I now want to use these for everything. 'Why can't we have sane housing prices in SF? Because the idea that regulation has something to do with it sounds like a compelling argument. But it isn't. The truth is, life is a bitter mystery.'
