Summary:
"The American Chemical Society has requested a default judgment of $4.8 million and a broad injunction against pirate website Sci-Hub in an ongoing legal battle.
The ACS filed its lawsuit against Sci-Hub in June, accusing the website of stealing and illegally reproducing and distributing copyrighted material. On Sept. 1 ACS asked for a default judgment against Sci-Hub after it failed to respond to the lawsuit. This default judgment calls for a payment of $4.8 million and an injunction that would require search engines and internet service providers (ISPs) to block the site."
