===Impacts of paper pirating=== Thus far, the pirating site Sci-Hub (launched 2011) from the Guerilla Open Access Movement has been the most effective tool for the Open Science Movement. Sci-Hub is heavily used by scientific communities in developing countries like China, India, Iran, Kazakhstan etc. to bypass the untenable paywalls. Elsevier, American Chemical Society, and Wiley, etc., all have lawsuits against Sci-Hub, which has resulted in the site being blocked in many countries including the US and other Western countries since 2015. However, as long as one country maintains the site, everybody with a WiFi connection can access and its repository – made easier with VPN technology. In 2016, Sci-Hub founder Alexandra Elbakyan was listed #6 on the “Nature’s 10” – Springer Nature’s annual list of ten “people who mattered” in science. '''The most effective solution for the Open Access Movement so far is an illegal one; we must do better.'''
