If sci-hub manages not to lose this (unlikely unfortunately), will they start putting new articles into the database? It hasn't been updated for several years I believe. Such a shame - accessing these articles is very cost prohibitive. It's not uncommon to need to access more than 100 articles to write a good scientific paper. Sci-hub has advanced medical and basic scientific research far more than I think most people realize. I would be happy to donate toward their legal fees.

The only reason new articles are not being uploaded is that the judge ordered it. During the case, one of the orders didn't contain the text for the parties to continue on the agreement and on that day sci-hub uploaded all the accumulated requests (2018-2020~). My guess is that whenever this case is closed, be it as a lose or as a win, sci-hub will resume uploading new articles.
Man, I hope you are right. Kids should be doing poster presentations on Alexandra Elbakyan in grade school. Modern hero.
