It's whack-a-mole time again children!
Lots of money and time spent on what will, in the end, amount to a whole lot of nothing as, those who REALLY do want to access Sci-hub, will find a way round this.
- KingFelix 6y agoVery true
- vixen99 6y agoAnd isolated people without university connections who can't find a way will just have to abandon trying to access research papers relevant to their work unless able to shell out tens of Euros/dollars for one-off viewing. This is not an argument for or against, merely a statement of how things are for some. I wonder how many fall into this category.
- toxik 6y agoEven people with access use scihub. It’s just easier than whatever institutional login crap they throw at you.
- matthewdgreen 6y agoYup. We used to have to use some kind of obnoxious VPN to get access; Sci-Hub is just easier. My University's library has gradually been making this easier -- I suspect partially due to COVID and partially due to the fact that people weren't using it as much because Sci-Hub is actually user-friendly.
