With all the people using Sci-Hub, I wonder if it is becoming possible to make legislation to either or both
* Declare Sci-Hub and its practices legal outright, and make it the new normal.
* Carve out extra protections for open access to science in general.
It's not exactly what you mention, but most Dutch researchers are legally allowed to freely share their work six months after publication: https://www.openaccess.nl/en/in-the-netherlands/you-share-we...
> Article 25fa of the Copyright Act (Taverne Amendment) allows researchers to share short scientific works (e.g. articles & book chapters), regardless of any restrictive publishers' guidelines.
> The maker of a short scientific work, the research for which has been paid for in whole or in part by Dutch public funds, shall be entitled to make that work available to the public for no consideration following a reasonable period of time after the work was first published, provided that clear reference is made to the source of the first publication of the work.
