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

Just like the OG Pirate Bay. They closed down, and someone else, unknown, took over.
That’s not unproblematic ofc as the new owner can do whatever they want without the oversight of the non-profit.
It’d be harder for IA since they have hundreds of PBs of hard drives. You need like a warehouse for it so it’s a lot harder to hop around
