Publisher Gets Carte Blanche to Seize New Sci-Hub Domains
I&#x27;m actually surprised this whole suit is being pursued by a professional society. Closed publications seem to be out of line with the interest of their members. Unless the society makes substantial money from their publications, which is unlikely[0], it&#x27;s hard to see what the motivation of this organization would be and why the members of the society haven&#x27;t loudly complained against it. I&#x27;d really expect a suit from this to come from Elseiver or NPG.<p>[0] From talking to a few representives of sceintific societies it sounds like they usually produce thier journals at or around cost.
