    I had a feeling this was going to happen when I saw that there were authors namedropping libgen while going after the AI people. Might wanna get all your last minute downloads out of the way now before the service gets disrupted.

      I’m not too worried. There are a lot of shadow libraries that mirror each other’s content. Z-library is going strong on Tor, and Anna’s Archive is a fairly new player with pretty much everything.

      Libgen has a lot of domains and mirrors internally, too.

      The nice thing about books is that they’re relatively small. It’s a lot easier to host everything than with other forms of media.
