Another one is close to biting the dust. Sci-Hub is out, Z-Lib got ran off like a dog and now IA is going to remove a host of books because these publishers just can’t stop being money-hungry bastards.
This is why I support piracy. Knowledge should be free. To go after a nonprofit organization that just wants to make digital books and other formats accessible to everyone when majority of uploads can’t be downloaded only borrowed, is just so devious and greedy.
I’m so tired of it. Laws around copyright and intellectual property need to be reformed. I feel so helpless :c

Uh zlib and sci hub are both still alive.
Sci-Hub stopped adding new articles since its court case and Z-Lib had most of its domains seized by the US. I didn’t say they were dead, but tried to convey that they were attacked and forced to either cease their operations or shrink significantly.
Right but zlib is full strength at this point, and libgen remained unaffected. Annas archive gives an extensive coverage of it all.
Not like theres a certain onion to connect to it…
