Books:
Library Genesis (Libgen) is a file-sharing based shadow library website for scholarly journal articles, academic and general-interest books, images, comics, audiobooks, and magazine. – Library Genesis
Papers:
Sci-Hub is a shadow library website that provides free access to millions of research papers and books, without regard to copyright, by bypassing publishers’ paywalls in various ways. – Sci-Hub
For all the work supported by public money benefiting scholarly publishers, particularly the peer review that grounds their legitimacy, journal articles are priced such that they prohibit access to science to many academics – and all non-academics – across the world, and render it a token of privilege. – In solidarity with Library Genesis and Sci-Hub

The commons:
In our proposed definition (see also Stalder, 2010), the digital commons are a subset of the commons, where the resources are data, information, culture and knowledge which are created and/or maintained online. They are shared in ways that avoid their enclosure and allow everyone to access and build upon them. – Digital commons
Books:
Somebody on Mastodon mentioned that one can download tens of thousands of academic books on a staggering variety of humanities and social studies topics legally for free at the OAPEN library
