  You'd say that Scihub has crossed the line from civil disobedience into outright insurrection. That said, librarians were trying to work within the system, including raising public consciousness, unsubscribing whole journal packages that included high-profile journals, and nothing happened until Scihub came along. It's the best argument against Kriton that I've seen.
