more about the right to information in my article at Decidim Fest 2020, on page 39:

Unlike Sci-Hub, Z-Library never was a political project and never cared about Sci-Hub fighting for free access to knowledge as a human right. Few months after Z-Library founders were arrested by FBI, they finally changed their mind: engineuring.wordpress.com/2023/08/14/acc…

good news, EFF finally agreed to give me award as a person:

“The free flow of information and knowledge, as well as the privacy of our communications, are important pillars of an internet that advances freedom, justice, and innovation for all”

it was really disgusting to read they ask me to accept their EFF Pioneer award 'on behalf of Sci-Hub'
Why did not they want to give the award to me directly? Sci-Hub is my sole creation; it is not an organization and never had any team. in 1998 they awarded Torvalds, not Linux.

unexpectedly, the sci-hub.se domain was unblocked after 'ownership verification process'

The next step will be to unblock Sci Hub twitter account

yesterday I noticed problems when trying to open Sci-Hub website: at first, I was thinking that is some DDoS attack, but after checking again today, found out that sci-hub.se domain that was resistant for many years has been deactivated :(
use sci-hub.ru

another article about Sci-Hub published, that time in Hebrew media, where they describe my actions as THEFT. The law does not recognize copyright infringement as theft. Does anybody know a lawyer in Israel, who can help suing this newspaper for defamation? haaretz.co.il/magazine/the-e…

I updated Sci-Hub, now you can watch download statistics in real-time, monthly stats and other. Will add more in the future.
sci-hub.se
* in previous I accidentally counted more than 30 days period. here the corrected stats for downloads per each country

fan art :)

nature has actually contacted me for comment about accusations that Sci-Hub is a threat, here is my full response / it is clear that academic publishers care about their money, not about security of other people

a new article about Sci-Hub in nature:
