- dredmorbius 7y agoLibGen might meet this niche.
- segfaultbuserr 7y agoYes! It's exactly what I was thinking about. But uploading them as normal books would make them difficult to find, at least we need an index. If someone is going to do it systematically, contacting LibGen is surely a possible way to go.
- dredmorbius 7y agoThere are several existing special collections. A "Manuals" collection might serve the purpose.
- Tinfoilhat666 7y agoArchive.org could also host them. Their mission is to provide universal access to all knowlegde. I have never understood why they can host so much copyrighted material.
- philpem 7y agoYou know, I've wondered about this too. I wonder how effective their DMCA process is -- but while they host some of my stuff, I actually want them to. Obviously I don't have standing to try and find out on someone else's material. I just wish their archive (Wayback Machine specifically) was easier to fulltext search.
- colejohnson66 7y agoThey been designated a library. Libraries have a lot more leeway with copyright laws
- brokenmachine 7y agoI agree about Tor, but IPFS provides no anonymity.
- segfaultbuserr 7y agoSure, IPFS doesn't offer anonymity at the protocol layer, but one can always operate a service anonymously (socially, not technically) by hosting it at a suspicious Russian/Romanian provider. BitTorrent taught us, once the materials spread, it wouldn't matter anymore.
