The term “piracy” is actually pretty appropriate – that’s been a
commonly-used term for systematic anr/od large-scale copyright
infringement since the 17th century. The term that really doesn’t fit
in the Sci-Hub context is “open access.” Despite its claims, what
Sci-Hub is doing has little or nothing to do with real open access.
Piracy and OA are not the same thing.

    Authors' movement? Reviewers' movement? Librarians' movement?
    Authors' union? Reviewers' union? Librarians' union? Stopping a system
    of taking authors work, not paying reviewers and taking funds from
    users, authors, libraries for a minimal service. On second thought,
    who wants to start a publishing company? Maybe a joke or maybe we need
    author cooperatives.

    Mark your calendars for the February 2 CopyTalk, “Open Access Piracy:
    Sci-Hub and #icanhazpdf as Resource Sharing.”

    http://www.districtdispatch.org/2017/01/upcoming-webinar-uneasy-sharing-aka-piracy/

    Many of you have probably heard about the infamous SciHub website that
    provides free access to costly scholarly journals that libraries often
    buy. Our speakers will discuss the use of popular resource sharing
    methods like SciHub that may violate copyright and database terms of
    service, including what these users think of the potentially copyright
    infringing action that they take. This webinar will include a review
    some empirical evidence that places these non-library resource sharing
    methods in context with their legal library counterparts. What
    motivates people who engage in this resource sharing? Do they have
    access through libraries? And what are the implications for libraries?
