>he author here doesn’t even get compensation from his/her work based on journal sells

Did you make that up or actually google to see if any journals pay? Because some do.

I get royalties on stuff I've personally written. Some of it is in technical books, and I've not checked, but I bet sci-hub even copies such stuff.

So care again to claim sci hub is not affecting any authors?

Finally, if an author wants his/her papers spread, it's easy to do. If an author only want their work in a certain journal, then the author can do that. Sci hub removes any author wish from the equation without author permission.

For example, there is no way for me to remove papers I wrote that sci hub has copied onto their servers (see above for an example link).



Most scientific articles are subsidized and the use case is writing more subsidized scientific papers. That doesn't effect you.
