Sci-Hub—Elsevier: 62 million for more openness—15 million against

"Digital technologies offer all sorts of features for analysis, filtering, collaborating, processing and many more. Foremost, though, digitality should enable access for all. Sci-Hub may be proof that offering all the other technologies won’t stop the open access disruption. I’m not in favour of copyright infringement, not at all. But libraries, funders, researchers, and publishers must act. Publishers most of all, as in: How would a legal fully open access publishing landscape really look like? How will the economics work? (Unimaginable that the whole market just flips, but will it become a funder-market?) And how will librarians work with their shift from physical gatekeepers to a network of scalable filter & service providers?"
