This makes me worried if sites like Library Genesis could be impacted by this.

I can't imagine why Library Genesis, Z library and others aren't taken down.
They are cheating authors. |

Hosted in Russia, I think. I think ZLib's domain got seized a few years back but that didn't do much. Last edited by ownedbycats; Today at 07:58 AM. |

All of the posts with the names of these illegal sites should be edited to remove the site names.

Relax, Jon. No links have been posted. It's not against the rules to mention things like Pirate Bay (yeah, I'm showing my age!).

There are a couple of other Russian-hosted sites with pirate ebooks that do takedowns when requested...booksee comes to mind. I don't know if Library Genesis honors takedowns, but if it does, that might be why it's still up.
