Context: Sci-Hub stopped uploading new papers in December 2020, after being ordered to do so by an Indian court. There was (is?) some hope of winning the case which could make Sci-Hub legal in India.

- folli 5y agoIs there actually any update on the case?
- Stupulous 5y agoWikipedia says the restriction was only for a couple weeks: >In December 2020, Elsevier, Wiley and the American Chemical Society filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Sci-Hub and Library Genesis in the Delhi High Court... >...The high court restricted the sites from uploading, publishing or making any article available until 6 January 2021. But it's very strange to me that that could go by unnoticed.
- jacobolus 5y agoCourts are slow. The court date kept getting pushed back (now scheduled in October) and so Sci-hub paused new papers for several months. But apparently Elbakyan’s lawyers have determined that the temporary restriction on uploading new materials has expired.
