My PhD research was funded by public money. The work was nothing special (that's putting it mildly), and it was a couple of decades ago, but thanks to it I ended up as a co-author on two peer-reviewed papers. It seems beyond crazy that there appears to be no legitimate way for me to share my work with others.
The quote from Max Bruce, the City of London Police's cyber protection officer that "Sci-Hub will then use [stolen credentials] to compromise your university's computer network in order to steal research papers" shows some fairly serious misunderstandings of how scientific research is funded, carried out, written up, shared, and published ... and which multinationals get rich from selling access to the very last bit.
