To anyone who wants to embark a large-scale piracy project: remember this has happened since the dawn of digital piracy. Copyright capitalists don't take things like this lightly. It happened to the creators of TPB, it happened to numerous warez and media piracy groups; this is always an occupational hazard. Stay safe, and don't trust the west.

There will always be a place in my heart for people who genuinely work to share human knowledge (and entertainment). I wouldn't be the person I am today without piracy projects. These news fill me with sadness, this is a great injustice. Intellectual property is one of the vilest inventions.

Wondering how much them being Russian had to do with that.

Nationality means nothing to the ruling class. Z Library was a threat to their profits.

Libgen and Z library comrades are building the library of alexandria and the US is doing everything it can to burn it down.

Moral of the story is do not leave russia or the anti-imperialist countries if you want to stay safe.
