A piece I'd written a year or so back on why Sci-Hub is such a compelling option for academic and independent researchers. It's been picked up by a number of OA sites in the past few months.
As for Internet research gems, I'd also like to note a self-created resource that could use love, the Online Etymology Dictionary, produced by Douglas Harper. Unlike Sci-Hub, this is original work largely created to support Harper's own etymological explorations. I've found it tremendously useful, and very much in the spirit of the original web (of which it is very much a part).
