Have you ever spoken to anyone who works in academia? Because almost everyone will tell you that they couldn't care less if people get their articles from SciHub. Academia is much uglier than you're romanticizing it to be.

Yep, I spoke. Yeo, they don't care, or have no clue. Nope, I respect their choice. IMHO, SciHub should be opt-in instead of opt-out to be legal.
