"In cramped quarters at Russia’s Higher School of Economics, shared by
four students and a cat, sat a server with 13 hard drives. The server
hosted Sci-Hub, a website with over 64 million academic papers
available for free to anybody in the world. It was the reason that,
one day in June 2015, Alexandra Elbakyan, the student and programmer
with a futurist streak and a love for neuroscience blogs, opened her
email to a message from the world’s largest publisher: 'YOU HAVE BEEN
SUED.'"
