So what is the strategy once Springer starts getting their domains taken down? With torrents this was never a big deal once there was the DHT - it didn't matter which search engines where taken down or which trackers, the torrents lived to see another day.
This website at this stage seems particularly easy to take down as it is a centralized weak link.
Centralized services work great when they are legitimate: Netflix, Spotify, but decentralized work best when they are not legal.

- Blahah 11y agoSci-hub isn't going anywhere: 1. The data is stored via lib Gen as torrents (for the PDFs), and a metadata database that is mirrored by hundreds of people. 2. In case of a domain takedown the site can be resurrected at a new domain very quickly - as recently happened when the sci-hub.org domain was taken down after Elsevier sued the Sci-Hub founder. 3. There's an onion site, which can't be disrupted by a centralised domain service.
