I know, but this sounds like a misunderstanding. The Handshake equivalent of domains in the traditional DNS is TLDs, and that's what you can own and control (for example, I have several TLDs like .stavros). I own the keys for those and they're in my own wallet, and Elbakyan can own them too. She thought that having her own TLD was a hassle, so they gave her a second-level domain the TLD of which they managed themselves, but she didn't like that because they managed it. This could have been very easily solved if she was fine with them giving her www.sci-hub, but it sounds like she thought that owning a TLD would somehow be more hassle than owning a second-level domain. It doesn't sound very reasonable to me, sounds like a misunderstanding.
