I’ve been perusing the wiki looking for some sources, and I think I may even want to contribute to it in a month or so. But I noticed a lot of the book references include libgen links. While I think it’s a great convenience, couldn’t having it be so prominent eventually get the project in legal trouble?

    The general opinion is we’ll cross that bridge when we get there, but we’re not hosted in the US so they’ll have to look at the proper mechanisms to get our links taken down… push comes to shove we can always take down the offending links or even try to get permission from the copyright holder to rehost the texts.

    It’s unlikely they’ll take legal action against PW and we have defenses against that too anyway. If PW ever gets taken down for whatever reason we can rehost anywhere else in less than a day.
