Re: Is Sci-Hub perhaps publishing
City of London have always been a patsy for the copyright industry. Their "beat" is a square mile with almost no residential property and most of the business property has private security, which leaves them with a lot of free time.
Back when RIAA and others were chasing the Pirate Bay, it was CoL they went to with UK-based IP addresses and had them send people snotty letters threatening legal action.
In fairness CoL have a national "cybercrime" mandate too, working with NCSC and leading projects like Cyber Aware and Action Fraud. The idea that people might share credentials with Sci-Hub which they've reused in other university systems is a legitimate concern. No doubt Elsevier & Springer are very keen to highlight the "dangers" as well though!
