I have no idea whether the claim that Sci-Hub makes about how it manages to access journals in libraries is accurate, but if it is, consider this irony: those faculty who cooperate in this way with Sci-Hub seem to be the same ones that complain about this new technology invading their privacy. But as I understand it, having passwords to use in accessing the journals also gives Sci-Hub the opportunity to access a great range of other materials in universities' computer systems, like student grades, etc., which would then be an invasion of THEIR privacy.  Sci-Hub may proclaim that it is only using such access identities to acquire access to journals, but who is to say what Sci-Hub may be doing with the other information that those passwords allow it to acquire?  Should one really trust an entity whose leader admits to being an old-style Marxist who wants to bring down capitalism?
