Because of the lawsuit, which Sci-Hub founder Alexandra Elbakyan has
refused to participate in, she's been engaged in a game of domain-name

shuttering of the popular site's domain name. The site allows anybody, not
just academics, to access tens of millions of scholastic research articles
for free.
