Anubha Sinha (Centre for Internet and Society, Bengaluru)

Sci-hub's missions, and more. She will also highlight the movement's
connections and relevance for Indian researchers.

Arul George Scaria (National Law School, Delhi)

Title: Sci-Hub Litigation in India: Why the courts should protect the
public interest in access to knowledge resources?

Arul will be providing an overview of the legal issues involved in the
litigation initiated in India by three major publishers against Sci-Hub and
Libgen. He will discuss the specific facts of the case and examine whether
there are any legitimate grounds for granting a "dynamic injunction"
against Sci-Hub ad Libgen. As part of the remarks, he will discuss the
factors that a court needs to take into consideration while deciding on an
injunction application. During his remarks, he will also touch upon some of
the important lessons for the global community from the prosecution of
Aaron Swartz in the US and the tragic end of that prosecution.
