      Why does Sci-Hub care about the Indian High court?
      • joshuaissac 5y ago
        Because Sci-Hub is defending this case in court (unlike in some other cases where they ignored proceedings), so ignoring the court order to pause adding new papers would hurt their chances of winning.

          Interesting. I figured they would continue not to engage with any governments. Do you know why they chose to take part in this court case?

            Possibly because Indian courts previously ruled that making photocopies of textbooks for educational purposes is fair use under copyright law: https://selvams.com/blog/breakthrough-indian-copyright-law/ https://selvams.com/blog/breakthrough-indian-copyright-law/

        Sci-Hub is defending itself in the Indian High Court, and the case is still being heard. The court asked it to stop uploading new materials in the interim[0], and they seem to be honoring it to avoid contempt of court I guess.

  Thanks, I had no idea. I hope the case ends in favor of them, it has been an invaluable resource for me since I left University. Does anyone know if there is a way to support them?
