    Dunno what Sci-Hub is, but most researchers are happy to send you a copy of their paper on request - and this is completely legal. Their email address is usually on the abstract.

          I am a scientist and you are right. If I get a message asking for my work, I will send it. It will also make me happy that someone is interested. It happens regularly, usually via researchgate.

        Not owning it can get them in trouble for sharing

        It depends on the publishing agreement

      Adding up to days in the best scenarios to any research study when scihub or arxiv cuts it down to seconds. Because no one cares about time.
