you can check this yourself here: http://z-lib.orgI do not think these people are cybercriminals. They are the best we got to help information preservation (next to the Internet Archive) in the 21st century.The fact they had to mention that these people are Russian also strikes me as odd. They don't even seem to be government affiliated, I'm pretty sure the FBI would've said so if there was even a slight hint of that.While OpenAI can freely use all copyrighted material and make billions off of it, these people giving it out for free are supposed “criminals”. Aaron Schwartz didn't die for this.

@antoinechambertloir the FBI really shows pictures of some dope ass nature or maybe hotel, but still proletarian holidays, and says “look at how luxuriously they spend their money!!” wtf...All journals have higher profit margins than big tech companies. Their CEOs got super Yachts and shit. What is wrong with the FBI

@ErikUden In the spirit of "piracy is curation", Folks may want to know that Z Library has a lot of domain redundancy and that there is a reddit forum that usually has pretty good information about which ones are currently working. https://www.reddit.com/r/zlibrary/

@ErikUden as with everything. If Americans are <insert almost anything here> - their government is not doing anything. But if anyone from any other country is doing <insert the same thing>, then it’s real shit and they have to act. TikTok - bad, Instagram Reels or Youtube Shorts - goodOpenAI, Google, etc. using copyrighted materials? Nothing. Someone else is doing the same? Real shit.

@ErikUden @antoinechambertloir thats just a normal holiday anywhere in Europe...Most of what I've got from these places are scans of 1960s-90s books on cars and motoring, long out of print, many of the authors are deceased (and made a good living as motoring journalists), the publishers have lost out on 0,00€

@ErikUden „this is how they are spending it“? Really? That feels like shady campaigning from the FBI. Also: do the content owners spend their money on anything different? (The rainbow is a nice touch though)

@ErikUden what absolute fucking dorks the FBI are being here. What kind of idiot do you have to be to imagine that presenting zlib like this makes them look bad? Go shut down all the billion dollar silicon valley darlings doing the exact same thing, but worse, at industrial scale, then come back here and we can talk about this. You are being stooges for the rich & powerful by stamping on everyone else's interests.

@ErikUden to secure a working link to the z lib archive, search telegram. Connect with their channel & obtain the latest valid link. I would concur w their ethos, information should be free. Not locked by govts & corporations. I will not argue w you if you disagree. You're wrong.

@ErikUden as a published scientist who receives zero revenue from any of the work I've published with for-profit academic journals, and not even that, had to pay for said publications with public funds (yes, this is how it works): Fuck publishing houses like Elsevier and the likes and I have absolutely no moral problem with how those supposed cybercriminals spend their money

@ErikUden > The fact they had to mention that these people are Russian also strikes me as odd.Well, not really all that surprising to me.You see, according to the newest popular consensus, all Russians are 100% evil always. Each and every one of us starts their day with eating a baby, and no afternoon is complete without torturing a kitten.

Yeah right, don't give money to regular people having regular vacations while also helping make knowledge more accessible. Instead, give it to corporations that already have orders of magnitude more money than they know what to do with, and themselves contribute almost nothing of value to the society.

@ErikUden centralized "archive" sites are worthless. atleast internt archive has torrents, how many are seeded? idk. they should have put more enphasis on that, like libgen and scihub. if you want to keep something for archival make sure it can be provided by anonymous volunteers at minimal cost

OpenAI directly downloaded 80+ Terabytes of books from Z-Lib to train AI models, meaning they're allowing a public and illegal redistribution of the entirety of those works, and even paywalling most of it to make money off of these historic works.Hey FBI, take down their page too?
