Elsevier reaffirmed the injustice of today's copyright law by winning a lawsuit against the article-sharing site Sci-Hub. But it can't collect the 15 million dollars, since the site's operator isn't operating for a profit, and it can't shut the site down.

Please be careful not to use the term "pirate" to describe sharing. It requires special attention to avoid following someone else's example, such as after reading an article like that one.
