"Academic publishing giant Elsevier really, really, really hates
Sci-Hub, the site that offers up access to lots of academic research.
Elsevier has sued the site directly and tried many times to get it
blocked (which, to date, seems to have only helped it get more attention)."

Punchline:

"Of course, expecting Elsevier to recognize how hypocritical it's being
is a fool's errand as well. Elsevier is not in the business of actually
understanding how academics work. It's in the business of squeezing as
much cash as possible from universities."
