>SciHub is just one instance of the broader problem, which is that governments - even ostensibly democratic ones - don't actually operate in the best interests of the governed.
Agreed. This is true for virtually any human endevour. The average person out there can be easily manipulated by those who generally seek power. So I say that the root problem is one of that of people in their ability discern appropriate people to hold power. To make matters worse those who are most suited to govern often are not interested in taking on positions of power.
