“As alleged, the defendants profited illegally off work they stole, often uploading works within mere hours of publication, and in the process victimized authors, publishers and booksellers,” stated United States Attorney Peace. “This Office is committed to protecting the intellectual property rights that enable creative and artistic expression, and holding individuals accountable for threatening those rights.”
@HaSch@blueberry Honestly I don’t know how I would’ve been able to do my thesis without sci-hub. Sure there’s the interlibrary loan system, but easily 95% of the papers I read turned out to be non-pertinent to what I was working on. Waiting days or weeks to even figure out whether I was searching for the right things would have seriously fucked up my planning and time management.
