But taking the upper end: A WD Black 10 TB platter drive[0] costs $329, which means it would take only $2700 or so to have enough storage space to archive what's basically the sum total of human scientific knowledge.

What prevents metaphorical Trojan-infected copies of Photoshop from ending up in a science piracy site?
I've seen estimates of the total sci-hub/libgen size at anywhere from 20TB to 75+TB. Probably there are lots of dupes in there, and a dedicated dedup effort could reduce that size by a bit.

That’s an exaggeration. First, a lot of scientific reference books are not a Sci-Hub. Second, decades of published materials have not been digitized and are not available there. Third, very recent work (2020-2021) are often missing as well. And finally, there is a biais towards English and articles in other languages (for instance Korean, Chinese) are often not present despite being indexed or available on other networks.
Sci-hub is awesome and I use it almost daily but it’s not perfect yet and it’s not near "total sum of scientific knowledge" yet either.

You can pick up an 8TB WD black external for $200, and I saw cheaper WD EasyStore 8TB’s at retail in Best Buy today at $180, and that’s just what I saw offhand earlier today.

Hard drive prices are supposed to decrease in $ per TB over a multi year period, with advances in areal density.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Something is starting to go really wrong in HDD pricing, following GPUs and other things, because I bought that same 8TB drive two years ago for $147. Hard drive prices are supposed to decrease in $ per TB over a multi year period, with advances in areal density.
