Sci-Hub is the most controversial project in modern science. The goal of Sci-Hub is to provide free and unrestricted access to all scientific knowledge.
Sci-Hub became the most radical - and so far the most succesful - take on the open access.
Sci-Hub has been hit by many lawsuits from academic publishing companies. They insist that Sci-Hub is not legal and accuse Sci-Hub of copyright violation or piracy. As the result of lawsuits access to Sci-Hub is being blocked in some countries.
The position of Sci-Hub is: the project is legal, while restricting access to information and knowledge is not. The current operation of academic publishing industry is massive violation of human rights.
