I'm all for Sci-Hub disrupting the dominance of RELX Group (a.k.a. Elsevier) and other for-profit publishers that make such a big profit off the backs of researchers (who write and edit for free) and grant-making organizations (who fund those researchers). But it's unfortunate that Sci-Hub is also disrupting non-profit scholarly associations that cover their own budgets through journal subscriptions. In these cases, the fact that libraries and readers have to pay for access to an article is somewhat balanced out by the fact that those fees are going to pay for staff, conferences, and the other worthwhile activities of the non-profit associations.
