This is purportedly related to a lawsuit in India. The thought is that Alexandra is intentionally being as cooperative as possible because there is a possibility of a legal victory in that jurisdiction. The court had asked her to cease adding new material.
She has shown us the way. We can always recreate sci-hub, should the current system cease to function. We even know what kind of budget it takes to set up and operate for a decade: $100k!
- Phenomenit 5y agoWasn't it $100k in total from the beginning of the project in 2011? That's how I perceived it anyways.
- Jolter 5y agoYes. Which is more or less a decade.
- Rels 5y agoYou both seem to be saying the same thing to me? I'm not a English native, but I'm pretty sure a decade refers to a period of 10 years.
- mbauman 5y agoHow much it cost to operate for its first decade of life is certainly not representative of how much it'll cost for the next given how its archive and usage have grown significantly. The grandparent implied that'd be the cost to run the site, the parent suggested it's not representative now.
- oefrha 5y ago> We can always recreate sci-hub, should the current system cease to function. The problem is she has also shown us that recreating it may require great personal sacrifice of someone. Would you be that someone? I certainly wouldn’t.
