Today we are forced to share some sad news - yesterday many of our domains were seized again. We should highlight that the majority of the seized domains were not mirrors of the Z-Library website. Instead, they were separate sub-projects, containing only books in rare languages of the world, and their blocking is perplexing. For instance, these domains included books in Tamil, Mongolian, Catalan, Urdu, Pashto, and other languages:

afrikaans-books.org

bengali-books.org

urdu-books.org

marathi-books.org

chamorro-books.org

Over the 15 years of the project's existence, we've managed to collect an impressive collection of rare texts in many uncommon languages. These domains featured many unique texts that can't be found anywhere else, including rare books, documents, and manuscripts. All of this is a priceless heritage, contributing to the preservation and study of world cultures, and serving as important material for researchers in linguistics, anthropology, and history.

Z-Library also states in the blog post that they did not lose the files, just the domains.

He's obsessed with me because everything I say is true and truth makes brainlets mad.

It's amusing that on a Piracy community, someone will go ahead and block me, you clowns are no better than companies who screech about piracy in the first place.

Maybe I should go contribute in working to get Z-library taken down because it's a piece of shit that tries to monopolize books via DDL's instead of making it a decentralized effort because even bypassing blocks must be monopolized...

Dude you're sending this to the wrong person. Check who you're replying to in this thread 😅.
