Thankfully there's TOR and other methods to get around this. I disagree completely with the courts. Long live Sci-Hub

The worrying thing is that now there's a single point of failure: Elbakyan. She has the power to cut off anyone she wants to, and she did it in the past to some Russian university that dared criticize her.

  I guess anyone who wants to take on the legal risk is welcome to start up their own version hosted on IPFS.

    Okay. I've got a dedicated seed box but it is only DSL. I have ample disk space. What am I looking at, at that link? Is there a 'mirror the whole damned thing' torrent and how frequently should I update this? I already mirror a bunch of Linux ISOs, so it's not a problem to add more.

      Looking at the dates on the file list, I suspect not, and that the way you keep up to date is to keep adding the new torrents as they come out. Since torrents are immutable it makes sense... would otherwise be a pain to update.

        I'll add the most recent. Thanks.

        I will have to spin up some spare drives and it's going to take a while. I'll do the SciMag, though it will take a few months to synch it all. I've got spare driver and will actually end up needing to set them in a new box. I've been meaning to do this project for a while but lacked a good reason. Thanks.

  That's pretty funny, at least if their criticism was that Sci-Hub shouldn't exist.

  No there isn't - anyone can pirate the pirated stuff off of sci hub.
