Seriously? The link provided on reddit is some server some guy found that happened to have credentials listed on bugmenot. Nearly every book on the list is of dubious copyright status (e.g., do they have permission to redistribute it?). Essentially, it's a warez site.
- whereas 16y agoIt feels different from the regular warez, though.
- invisible 16y agoThen a library is a warez building?
- thunk 16y agoJust to play devil's advocate (and examine it rationally rather than legally), what exactly is the problem here? Libraries allow multiple people to read the same book. I'm sure you've loaned books to friends. Is it that it's OK for more than one person to read a purchased book, as long as it doesn't happen simultaneously? What if two people read a library book at the same time? Is that stealing? What if this site implemented some DRM that only allowed a book to be read by one person at a time? This site isn't doing something wrong, merely something illegal.
