When will they ever learn? Forcing ISPs to block websites will only antagonize the scholars more, who can anyway access the website with or without a ban. They'll do nothing to harm Sci-hub, in fact it'll make it even more popular.

I could access Sci Hub from India a few days ago, from Jio, for what it's worth.
