Summary:
"From my point of view, these considerations suggest that it can be OK to use sci-hub - even if illegality remains a taste. It is hoped that the EU and / or the German consortium will be able to implement DEAL, so that tax-financed research will only be published as Open Access. In many cases, you can also contribute as a researcher by submitting your work to open access journals. Here, however, restrictions are imposed on young scientists in particular - in many fields, most 'relevant', respected journals are not open access. In addition, not everyone has access to funds earmarked for the open access costs - and a fee from the press, Is normally not possible. So until the world becomes better and the trend to open access has prevailed, Sci-Hub remains a relevant option."
