Is Knowledge a Crime? The Story of Sci-Hub’s Alexandra Elbakyan Ever heard of Sci-Hub? It’s often called the “Pirate Bay of science” — but the story behind it runs much deeper. Alexandra Elbakyan, a student from Kazakhstan, changed the game. She created Sci-Hub — a free access platform that shook the world of science. Because she believed: “Access to knowledge is a human right.” She couldn’t afford to access paid research papers needed for her studies — so she built a tool that gave free access to millions of scientific articles. 80 million+ papers Used by students, researchers & scientists worldwide Sued by major publishers, banned in several countries — including India So let’s ask: Is she a criminal — or a global hero? And more importantly… Why is access to knowledge still behind a paywall and luxury in 2025? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sci-Hub
