    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

    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.

    It’s so much more important for the system to violently control scientific research than any tv shows, movies, etc.

    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
