    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.

        as a child, and only until later in life, i didn’t even know that it was illegal to watch movies for free on the internet, i just thought that it was common intellectual property, provided for free by generous ppl, because this is how everyone i knew watched movies lol

            Movies: YTS

            WARNING. YTS sold out their users to a law firm. They gave away registration emails and other information. People who used real emails were subsequently hit up for ransom by this law firm, demanding a one-time fee to settle their piracy. This is why their account on 1337x was banned.

            Other than being low quality there isn’t anything particularly wrong with their releases but I’d stay away from their website as they’ve proven themselves to be actively hostile.

            123series. ru is good but I recommend installing AdGuard or some other ad-block and anti-malware while visiting because there are some really sketchy ads on that site

            Be careful of IGG now, they started bundling weird bloat or spyware type of things from what I know.

    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.

      LMAO so true. I have professors share obvious libgen or something PDF’s of books published ten years ago and they’ll play dumb and say that it’s public domain, if they’ll say anything.

      @HaSch @blueberry Honestly I don’t know how I would’ve been able to do my thesis without sci-hub. Sure there’s the interlibrary loan system, but easily 95% of the papers I read turned out to be non-pertinent to what I was working on. Waiting days or weeks to even figure out whether I was searching for the right things would have seriously fucked up my planning and time management.

      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.
