Yeah, I have heard this reasoning, but it seems muddled. How is keeping the site online so old articles are available but no new articles are added acting in "good faith"? It's not like the old articles are any less copyrighted than the new articles, so this doesn't make sense to me.
The court case has also been delayed for over a year now, so if it is delayed indefinitely, like it seems to be, then we will also not get access to new articles, also indefinitely? That's ridiculous. The last update from the court proceedings claimed that there would be a new update over a month ago, which in turn got delayed yet again to a few days ago, and there's been nothing [1].
As I understand it, this was a sort of compromise the courts worked out in the interim. Seems likely that at some amount of delay, Sci-Hub would just break the injunction (I personally hope they don't, as the case seems to be wrapping up). I don't think any of this is ridiculous.
