Seized by the US Govt. I for one have gotten quite a few books there. *sigh*

"intellectual property" ""theft"".
Information WANTS to be free. I dearly want to get my soapbox out, but I have to hold myself to a higher standard now *sigh*
Thanks for the onion link Mayko

The files have not been deleted. The servers are (supposedly) located in Russia. Only the domain name is, but that avail almost to nothing. It’s
just another case of the FBI boasting a non-achievement.

US government, as usual, is just a paper tiger. They can do nothing to the servers, so they resort to defacing a website, very grown up behaviour.
Servers are all across the world: Russia, Panama, Germany, Finland, Malaysia, Luxembourg, even USA. HQ is somewhere in the land of green tea and
pandas, safe from imperialists' reach.
And no, if what looks like Z-lib asks for money, it's not the real one! There are imposters running around: https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/technology/phishing-websit...
