An outlaw technology to creat information freedom in science. Democracy is strongly intertwined to the idea of information freedom and information access ri - ghts . Today however most people who live in democratic countries are denied their right to access information in science . Academic journals have a price tag high enough to effectively prohibit their free circulation in society, or in other words, put them under censorship . An unique technology from Kazakhstan, developed in 2011, has put academic censorship to an end by opening free access to tens of millions academic journals . That is a website Sci-Hub that has 500,000 unique readers every day . Most people all over the world support Sci-Hub, but the website is outlawed in every country . How and why that happened?
