There's precedent for blocking DNS and other similar stuff. It's effective for a general audience but probably not most of the scientific one.

They've managed to get many of the domains blocked already, but it's such a game of whack-a-mole that it doesn't really help.

Please don't, services like that act like MiTM, and they won't work anymore with v3 onion service (Scihub's onion is still v2).

Yes, Wikipedia usually lists the working domains. But, of course, it's probably not legal.

Which "it" is "probably not legal", hosting a link, or looking at a page of other links, or hosting a page of links

Using Sci-Hub, sorry for the unclarity. Thought I'd include it as a disclaimer.
