Ask HN: [meta] Is it okay to post sci-hub links?

There is a particular article that I found on sci-hub more recently, I was wondering if it would be okay to post here? If not that'd be entirely fine.

Imho you should post the link to the original paper on the publisher's website.

The fact that someone will get it via sci-hub is implicit.

But now that i am writing this, i realized that paywalled content is a bummer. ..

Well, dunno.

I think in this case the only view that matters is that of the moderators, so you might want to email them and ask.

Personally I think it should be required when the original is paywalled.
