>And the order gives other legal fodder as well. It says that the Chemical Society may demand that "Internet search engines, Web hosting and Internet service providers, domain name registrars, and domain name registries, cease facilitating access" to Sci-Hub.

I wonder if SciHub has setup a Tor Service... would atleast prevent takedowns when the US inevitably enacts some sort of censorship on the site. I'd rather not have that happen, I do like the service provided by SciHub. (I'm sometimes to lazy to log into my Universities VPN to bypass paywalls)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sci-Hub says "It can also be accessed by directly entering the IP address (80.82.77.83), or through a .onion Tor Hidden Service (scihub22266oqcxt.onion) ... Articles can also be retrieved using a bot in the instant messaging service Telegram."

govt should take action against this piracy site.

Sci-hub does seem to have its defenders here on HN.

Which government do you reckon should?

Legally, they're supposed to, but hopefully they never do, at least not successfully.
