From their FAQ:
> Q: Should the Z-Library collection be added to Library Genesis?
> A: Yes! However, it is tricky. Library Genesis splits out its collection between non-fiction and fiction. They also have relatively high quality standards. If you are interested in organizing all the books to meet their requirements, let us know.
- krick 4y agoOh, it didn't come up to me to navigate "backwards". Thanks. Actually, their whole FAQ is quite more enlightening than just the linked page. http://pilimi.org/faq.html http://pilimi.org/faq.html
- pnutjam 4y agoI found a book I've been looking for, but it was only an image scan pdf. I OCR'ed it, and I'm slowly fixing the errors and converting to epub. Tedious, but interesting.
- sudosysgen 4y agoKudos to you, but I would probably be wary of admitting to participate in the illegal book piracy scene unless your pseudonymity is really tight. Thanks a lot for helping out, though.
- throwaway742 4y agoWithout knowing what book it is who would sue? I doubt the FBI is investigating random HN comments for literature piracy.
- sudosysgen 4y agoThere are companies specialized in this field who will track down offenders then make a deal with the copyright owners.
- pnutjam 4y agoI'll let you know, but I'm pretty confident I'm safe.
- fractallyte 4y agoI did something similar: OCR'd a book, then translated it to another language to make it accessible for a friend. However, I also contacted the author, and sent them a copy! At first, they were furious - I'd even translated ('pirated') the copyright notice... But things settled down, and now I'm working with the author on translations to various other languages. It's given the book a whole new audience!
- amelius 4y agoCan't they just tag these books as "not reviewed yet"? Anyone looking for these books can then just decide to include them.
- killingtime74 4y agoHere are 2x 16tb drives for ~$900 AUD ($600 USD), RAID them. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/710309 https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/710309 Put it in a case with all parts, $800USD all up?
