Also well researched (its worth digging through to the full paper)
with plenty of opinions.

A few points struck me:

Open Access is poorly covered, and book chapters relatively poorly represented.

The claim in the interview that libraries and publishers (for
different reasons) cannot support Sci-Hub but are perhaps unwillingly
abetting it. So the need for Sci-Hub is paradoxically increased by
efforts to ignore, suppress or defeat it.

there will be a lot of heat generated over his claim that his paper
marks the  "beginning of the end for subscription scholarly
publishing."
