You might have to switch your DNS to one that doesn't block based on copyright

(e.g. Cloudflare: 1.1.1.1)

Actually i think the effort they are making is cool. It goes well beyond piracy and I think is a good idea esp in face of the world rn.

Don't all the big publishers do this though, or is Elsevier especially bad?

Doesn't matter if it was one, or all publishers. Always call out scummy practices.
