Its funny that I have seen more crack downs on library sites than movie or game sites.

Listen kids, put away that nerd shit that makes you smarter and instead watch this crappy movie sequel .

The overseers want to remain dominant. Keep consumer bullshit like it's crack.

I think textbook publishers have a lot of caché in government and are willing to pay people in order to take down these sites with the police's help. Nintendo just handles bidness with their own lawyers.

Damn, if only Austria put that effort into digitization instead of domain seizures that benefit foreign publishers...

Ah right, there was a book I've been meaning to download. Thanks for the reminder, FBI!

Jesus, do they have nothing better to do? Maybe go deal with Russian oligarchs or Israeli war criminals.

From the title I was like "well damn they're getting serious now, they blew up Z lib's servers with C4?!" until I finished reading.
