[ANPPOM-Lista] Sci-Hub: research piracy and the public good

[Carlos Palombini]

It looks like the scholarly publishing community has been hit by its own
version of Napster.

Over the past year, some 47 million research articles have been made freely
available through a site called Sci-Hub. The publishing giant Elsevier,
aghast at finding many of its articles being given away, wasted little time
in suing the site in federal court for irreparable damages and copyright
infringement “of up to $150,000 (£105,000) per infringed work.” Last
autumn, the court granted a preliminary injunction against the site that
succeeded in shutting it down. Since then multiple versions of Sci-Hub have
sprung up on the darknet, largely beyond the reach of the law.
