Why does the URL have a Russian government domain (.ru)? Consider me highly skeptical.
It's where a lot of the pirate sites have found refuge from the Western copyright cartels. It's not necessarily a government-affiliated site just because it's got an .ru domain.
I want to say Russia doesn't consider it a crime to hack as long as the system/IP you are accessing is outside Russia. No source on that cause Im lazy, so take it with a boulder of salt.
I second this reply, with an additional boulder
Great, now I need a over the shoulder double boulder holder.
.ru is not government domain, it's just the normal russian domain... Literally every country except for america uses the country code top level domain for everyday use.
The US country code .us is also general use here. Government organizations in the US use .gov because we invented the internet and fuck you to every other government.
… in collaboration with France and the UK. Being “the web” later on invented at the European Organization for Nuclear Research.
Hey maybe you didn't pick up my attempt at humor. It's kinda messed up actually.
Because Alexandra Elbakyan lives in Russia. One of the official sci hub homes is .ru also
