Well,
We could also break that 200yo+ paradigm of having a paywall for
what should pretty much be free.
Like that media supply chain still forcing licensing per country...
And yes $35USD can be a lot of money for people that are hungry for
both food and knowledge.

there are lots of cases of this sort of tomfoolery "working"... in part or

Lee's point is it's dumb to offload this problem on every ISP in the
jurisdiction, AND it's also not going to really fix the problem if the
application is accessible via 'vpn' services (tor, real-vpns, etc).
it's just sort of dumb all the way around :(

you know, the Sci-Hub folk could fix this themselves... with some

"Sci-Hub’s founder, has previously told The Scientist the site plans to
ignore the lawsuit.” How would Sci-Hub consider this a “fix”?
What enforcement mechanism would the Court have against Sci-Hub?
The idea of making third parties (ISPs) incur costs (updating ACLs or
poisoning DNS) to enforce the order is pretty bad, and doesn’t stop Tor
access. Sorry I didn’t have a chance to file an amicus before the ruling
tomorrow.
