I&#x27;ve said in a previous comment, sci-hub is pure civil disobedience of the noble kind. In fact i thought it would be impossible to ever sue her, because there is no moral argument that can outweigh what she offers. I use sci-hub all the time because my institution doesn&#x27;t have access to all the sci journals, and i want access to ALL the knowledge for which millions of taxpayers have paid for (but they don&#x27;t know where that knowledge ends up). Its the perfect complement to open access  journals, for the (i believe) transitory period until we do away with impact factors and citation factories for good, like we did away with alchemy and phrenology.<p>I hope this increased publicity won&#x27;t lead to shutting down the site or freeze its paypal account.
