Summary:

"Many believe that although Sci-Hub, the controversial Russian website that offers free online access to 58 million scientific articles, may have crossed the line, it is the Robin Hood of science. While this legendary heroic figure was outlawed when it came to old-world rules, his actions stretched the boundaries and advanced the world in the same way that Sci-Hub is advancing scientific research and assisting researchers in discovering new drugs and new cures for diseases. However, as with most things, every story harbors more than one point of view."
