Does SciHub need an actual domain name? Could they provide their website on a well-known IP address, kind of like CloudFlare's 1.1.1.1 DNS? Other people could build websites that redirect to or reference this known IP address.
(Or can IP addresses be seized too? I assume not, or else I'd expect the actual SciHub website to be shut down, not just the DNS names pointing to it.)

Edit: It looks like SciHub is in fact available on certain IP addresses. The following website lists a few of them: https://whereisscihub.now.sh/ - one example is http://80.82.77.83
