Where do I send the beer? Whoever you are, you are the backbone of what makes pirating great
Never before in history has ANY institution done more to enable open and free access to ALL books for ANY person.
BOOKS FOR THE PEOPLE!
OPEN INFORMATION = FREEDOM

Where do I send the beer?
Nice try FBI
-
-
Authorities seem to enjoy fighting free knowledge... Ugh the feds suck ass
-
So do the people who keep them in power.
Remember, most Westerners want copyright and patent laws.

Good to see authorities focusing on the important stuff. Think of the children. 🙄
-
It's so much more important for the system to violently control scientific research than any tv shows, movies, etc.
-
And culture! The idea is to keep people from reading and making the big questions: why my life is a piece of shit while the rich only gets richer?
Not by accident they are also starting to ban books from libraries...

One thing I think Z-Library really did right is making an onion site and their own apps to find the site (I presume these have some tor ability built in as well I might be wrong though) .
I'd like to see more sites doing the same kind of thing.
-
Do you have the onion link for this site? I got this onion URL from both wikipedia and a z-library subreddit wiki, but I'd like some independent verification first.
Then again, I could just spool up a disposable email and use that for a test account.
-
the onion address work as of right now
-
Sorry no clue the app doesn't show urls but has always got me there. I do know there's a reddit sub for the site it would probably be easy to find there.

Forced reading used to be a thing when I was in school 🤔 I assume now it's just movies all day with the occasional book burning as a treat. Maybe throw some Kindles full of leaded solder or something onto the fire, get some nice toxins in the air for the kids to breathe. Great, now I'm grumpy and depressed. 😞

Are there onion/i2p versions of pirate sites? I think we are reaching this point.
-
Never gonna accept that I2P and Freenet and Tor-as-darknet (and whatever else) get so little attention. We managed to get Lemmy to be a thing but most of us just kinda hope clearnet sites on corporate systems and networks stay up instead of going for alternative networks that may be harder to control? Bleh.
-
I hope that someday we'll reach a point where I2P becomes popular enough that normies use it. Once torrents, IPFS, emule and other technologies are made to work on I2P, I doubt there'll be a way to put that genie back into the box.
-
yes, in the sidebox on wiki...
-
-
Somehow they're still sending users email updates. Not often, though once in a while they send a little update.
I admire their perseverance.
-
Reminder to be aware of darknet mirrors like I2P sites and Tor .onion services - domains aren't controlled by a company so they can't just be taken down by a legal request.
For z-lib, the Wikipedia article lists their .onion and I2P addresses (I haven't verified them so check before bookmarking): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-Library

And yet AI and LLM companies operate with impunity. And likely use my work.
ok, i didn't realize that, but this really puts lot of "piracy" arguments into perspective. because, unlike most "pirates", these fuckers will be making billions using that stolen content
I feel like filing a DMCA against all 9f the commercial ones. The thin line is getting exact copies.
