    Don’t use LibGen.is - it undermines the publishing industry by distributing copyrighted content without permission. It has many text books available for free. This reduces publishers’ ability to pay authors, fund peer review, and invest in quality academic resources. Support legal access options instead.

      Wikipedia’s entry on Z-Lib has its Tor address on it as well, so you can avoid that link too. Massive repository of textbooks and indeed books of any kind, all just available for free download. Makes me sick.

        Unfortunately those bastards have a more accessible address on the open web that anyone could reasonably use, with or without a VPN to hide their traffic from their ISP. Apparently it’s also listed by Wikipedia. RAPSCALLIONS!
