On Thursday, some links to the notorious shadow library Library Genesis (Libgen) couldn’t be reached after a US district court judge, Colleen McMahon, ordered what TorrentFreak called “one of the broadest anti-piracy injunctions” ever issued by a US court.
In her order, McMahon sided with textbook publishers who accused Libgen of willful copyright infringement after Libgen completely ignored their complaint.
To compensate rightsholders, McMahon ordered Libgen to pay $30 million, but because nobody knows who runs the shadow library, it seems unlikely that publishers will be paid any time soon, if ever.
Lmfao get fucked, US copyright system.
And get fucked, Digital Millennium Copyright Act!
And while we’re at it, get fucked Pearson and other scummy textbook publishers!
in addition, fuck mosquitos 🦟🔥
Yes. I am Look Skee Wacker, and I ride the Digital Millennium Copyright Act Falcon. Sure it’s kinda small and feathery but chewy and I love to ride it to new adventures! 😉
Is the dead falcon smell normal for falcons? Why doesn’t it fly when we jump on it… repeatedly? Is all the red stuff supposed to be inside of it? How do we put it all inside? It’s at lot. Well, it’s not a lot, it’s a falcon. I’m just referring to all the guts outside surrounding it.
Sometimes there’s a positive story that just makes your day. I bet those lawyers were expensive!
can’t libgen get around this by just saying they’re training an AI model?

Pirates: “Arr, hehe, yeah, we’ll send this right up the yardarm for ye.”
You served them. Just send the judgement there idiots. Lolololol
Only $30 million? For the amount of content and the convenience, Libgen seems to getting charged pennies on the dollar here. Imagine if the government could make a free online library of that quality for only $30 million, it would be a fantastic investment.
