Cloudflare Terminates Service To Sci-Hub Domain Names (torrentfreak.com)

Posted by msmash on from the roadblocks dept.

While Sci-Hub is praised by thousands of researchers and academics around the world, copyright holders are doing everything in their power to wipe the site from the web. From a report: Last weekend another problem appeared for Sci-Hub. This time American Chemical Society (ACS) went after CDN provider Cloudflare, which informed the site that a court order requires the company to disconnect several domain names. "Cloudflare has received the attached court order, Case 1:17-cv-OO726-LMB-JFA," the company writes. "Cloudflare will terminate your service for the following domains sci-hub.la, sci-hub.tv, and sci-hub.tw by disabling our authoritative DNS in 24 hours." According to Sci-Hub's operator, losing access to Cloudflare is not "critical," but it may "cause a short pause in website operation."

    So the crypto-currencies crash was only a precursor to the stock market crash?

    Somebody's messing up with all the markets. I advise everyone to take their World of Warcraft gold out of their guild banks right now.

    There can be more than one traitor in an election. As a matter of fact, I suspect a close review of how many senators and representatives have sold out to enemies of the American people would reveal that traitors outnumber all other politicians combined, regardless of party affiliation.

    We sure didn't have problems with low unemployment and strong GDP growth when Obama was president.

    Unemployment fell consistently - after a precipitate rise at the tail end of Bush's last term - throughout Obama's term. These numbers don't just lurch the moment someone's elected or starts enacting policies.

    That fall now seems to be tailing off (although it would have to eventually, but it might have happened later - or earlier - with a different incumbent).

    The chairman of the banking guild has just announced guild bank recapitalisation and an extended series of open market operations including buying mounts with quantitatively eased cash.
