Sci-Hub Moves to the Center of the Ecosystem - The Scholarly Kitchen

"Everywhere you turn, it’s Sci-Hub. For a librarian, Sci-Hub is an unacknowledged reserve army prepared to enter the battle with publishers. For publishers Sci-Hub is an enemy, clear and simple, except when, in circumstances like those in China, it may serve some tactical purpose. (Miles’s Law: Where you stand depends on where you sit.) Whatever view a publisher takes of Sci-Hub (and how can it be positive?), Sci-Hub has now entered the decision-making process, where it cannot be easily dislodged."
