"The emergence and popularity of Sci-Hub have prompted us to think, discuss, and look for options beyond the obsolescent academic publishing system currently in place. But most importantly, it compels us to make a choice between supporting the ‘unethical’ and ‘illegal’ dissemination of knowledge, or contributing to the immoral (yet legal) commodification of knowledge."
