Just curious, why did you think it wouldn’t be?

I'd discussed HN's linking SciHub directly with dang back in 2016, at which time his response was "I think that degree of anthill-overturning would be past prudent."

Apparently the anthill has been overturned for some time. No data on time/distance from prudent.

"Sci-Hub is a shadow library website that provides free access to millions of research papers, without regard to copyright,[4] by bypassing publishers' paywalls in various ways."

Many of us approve of that.

Many of us do, indeed.
