I doubt they would have a claim to make unless the university officially endorsed SciHub. Otherwise, how would the institution be expected to know that researchers didn't buy access themselves?
- headcanon 9y agoMy guess would be that they would be motivated enough to check references of individual researchers. If they reference a paper on their journal, and neither the researcher or the university have a subscription, they might harass them with legal threats at the very least. Its horrible and I hope that doesn't happen, but its something I would not put past them if they felt their bottom line was affected. The RIAA put a lot more effort into protecting their copyright than the scenario I just described.
