Today we are forced to share some sad news - yesterday many of our domains were seized again. We should highlight that the majority of the seized domains were not mirrors of the Z-Library website. Instead, they were separate sub-projects, containing only books in rare languages of the world, and their blocking is perplexing. For instance, these domains included books in Tamil, Mongolian, Catalan, Urdu, Pashto, and other languages:
Over the 15 years of the project’s existence, we’ve managed to collect an impressive collection of rare texts in many uncommon languages. These domains featured many unique texts that can’t be found anywhere else, including rare books, documents, and manuscripts. All of this is a priceless heritage, contributing to the preservation and study of world cultures, and serving as important material for researchers in linguistics, anthropology, and history.
Z-Library also states in the blog post that they did not lose the files, just the domains.
This eerily reminds of books burning.
It’s more like if a landlord canceled the leases on a bunch of properties that a chain of privately owned libraries was renting.
“keep your books but you can’t keep them here” in a way.
Well, the files are intact, it’s “just” registrar douchiness. Not that that makes it good, by any stretch, but it’s not all Alexandria either
Book burning bad, literally Roman style war crimes…
