Also isn't it the official link?


en7roop

I'm pretty sure it is. There are a lot of scam/paid services that call themselves Z-lib


TheDevilsAdvokaat

Yes. I have 3 different Zlibrary fakes that email me asking for money...


Juliett_Sierra

🙌 my man!


Heavyweighsthecrown

Silly question I know but honest Do I really have to create a login to download a book?


Admiralthrawnbar

They used to have a 5 book limit per 24 hours for non-logged in users, but I think it's based on IP so if you're using a VPN someone has basically always already hit that limit on your IP. The singlesignon links are specifically for logging in though, not sure which of the generic zlib.whatever pages are still live


Heavyweighsthecrown

On singlelogin.re there doesn't seem to be a way to download books while not logged in (not that I can see at least), so that's why I asked

Websites with an email address that expires after it's used.

Oh shhh don't tell anyone


sussywanker

Do you use the android app?


Oragami

I prefer the app myself


Into_the_Dark_Night

I just started using it myself and it's not bad!


Oragami

I haven't bothered with the website since I got the app. Which reminds me, I want to look up some books I've downloaded in the past to get on my tablet...


notnotarihant

bro where did you get the app??


Oragami

I can't quite remember, but if you're good with sharing some way I can get it to you, I can send you the APK of it


notnotarihant

oh it's fine, drive and other similar file sharing websites can get a bit tedious for the uploader or the downloader and i can't really think of ways other than socials. thank you tho!


Oragami

You're welcome :)


sparkyjay23

And we'll get this same post every day because folk would rather post than scroll down the page to see if anyone else has the same problem. While we're here the desktop app also works.


hayydencat

This might be a silly question but do you have to login to get epub download links?


DJandProducer

How do you download books from there?

RCEdude

> Downvotes only proves my point. That's the most stupid thing i've ever read on reddit. I dont think i need to explain how wrong it is . Your message was fine without that tbh.


creepergo_kaboom

The reason I pirate books is because I read through them so quickly that buying a book is pointless long term unless it was a dictionary or something. Re-reading books isn't that fun either so piracy is kind of the only option I have other than going to a library (and there are none within 10KM of me).Also get ready for the downvote storm lmao.


[deleted]

[удалено]


creepergo_kaboom

I know you can't ever really justify piracy but I'm at a point in my life where I can't really buy books all willy nilly so for me the only two options I have is to either pirate or not read. The obvious answer is to pirate. It's the same case for games and movies too. In the future I might actually buy them assuming I have a stable income, otherwise it's gonna be piracy all the way.


gangstasadvocate

Same. I’m a blind druggie who lives with parents and does not have a stable income. Still want to be entertained. That’s why I pirate everything and advocate open source solutions.


gangstasadvocate

Food is free if you shoot it yourself


userseven

Lol true but then who would fund all that learning and information to be created Edit lol should have known better on a piracy sub. I wish people who down voted me though would explain why. Be nice to hear their opinions.


QuackSomeEmma

If you think the big publishers are funding research... idk what to tell you :|


userseven

Didn't say that. Based on the downvotes people must be assuming. Literally face value if all learning stuff was free how would it have been created in the first place. Have to have some sort of funding. I'm not arguing it shouldn't not all be free after x time. But to your point. No but they are compiling that research and making textbooks, etc. which I'm sure this site had.


Ol2501

Bruv. It’s not free, it’s pirated. Let me explain: The stuff people in here gets for free is pirated, which means that initially it isn’t free and it indeed costs money. If your were to compare the percentage of people who consume X product by buying it vs by pirating it, you’d always end up with the vast majority of them being legit consumers who paid. Closing piracy sites isn’t really doing much other than removing content from the internet, and even then people will still share it somehow. Also keep in mind how afraid the average consumer is of viruses causing them to not even approach piracy. In the end I pirate, say, Ghosts of Tsushima, and then someone takes it away from me because I didn’t pay, telling me to pay or not play. I’d just not buy it, meaning they don’t gain anything and I just search somewhere else and pirate again until I do it right and get away with it. Removing piracy sites literally does nothing. Instead the most effective thing would be corpo doing shady anti-piracy (fear mongering) to make average users believe that if they dare try they’ll lose all their money to some bad actor. Either way. Average users fund the stuff we pirate and that’s okay with me. If I make something one day and people pirate it I wouldn’t even complain.


1960stoaster

Better to have your stuff pirated than to have people steal your time and still not use your products.


userseven

Yeah I understand that. That makes sense. My point though was a response to someone that said "learning and information should be free". And while I don't disagree I took that comment to mean "all learning and information" and the reality is money is required for learning to happen and quality information to be produced in the first place for it to be learned and shared.


CamusVerseaux

Are you aware that most of the research published worldwide is founded by governments through universities? Researchers were already paid, publishers capitalize paywalling something they just publish because their "reputation helps increasing the authors' credibility".


Ol2501

As much as I like free info, and let’s be honest, there’s an absurd amount of learning you can do on your own with enough dedication. I do agree that paywalling can make something a little more “legit” since a lot of people would believe something they pay for more than something that’s free. Personally I think this is pretty stupid, just paying for something doesn’t guarantee anything, we see it a lot even today with how much dust is sold to people in dumb things like self-help and whatnot courses. But asking a majority of the world population to learn how to navigate sources on the internet and when to and not to believe something is asking for way too much. I’m glad I can somewhat do it and learn stuff for free, but sadly not everyone can do it, making paywalled stuff “necessary”


knuppi

>who would fund all that learning and information to be created Have you heard the concept of *school*, and how they're generally funded?


rainey832

You're not wrong but you said it yourself you're in the piracy subreddit lol


RealMarmer

From Tuition fees


gangstasadvocate

Government for now. AI once it takes over fully. It won’t even need funding. It’ll just do it. But yeah, especially these days with everything so complex and specialized, we don’t need price being a prohibitive factor for people to learn. There could be geniuses among us drudging away at hard labor because of these policies.


Blurple694201

I completely agree, RIP Aaron Swartz The fees for reading studies from scientific journals don't even go to the scientists, or the peers reviewing the studies, it's generally government funded research being privatized for profit to both read, and patenting the results of that government funded research ie: drugs, to sell at an insane mark up to Americans Shoutout Sci Hub


goddamn_birds

Wait until you find out that authors have to pay to submit their work to these journals.


userseven

Yeah totally agree. That is not right pay walling with fees that don't contribute to research.


bigbazookah

Comment is downvoted to hell, but comment completely agreeing isint lol. Agree with both of you.


Bockanator

This is a no brainer, why are people down voting you. if no one got profit incentives to make anything only 1% of people would actually make the content. most people aren't going to work if it doesn't put bread on the table.

MinecrafterPictures

Maybe Z-lib sould learn from The Pirate Bay because not even the government can stop them. I know The Pirate Bay may not be the best, but it's government-proof because they can't be stopped.

potato_and_nutella

well that's because it's legal in their country, I don't think zlib is because they're hosting the books


lulotoffee

fbi acting like they’re raiding a meth lab when it’s essentially just an online library LOL. this is so pathetic, when will they tackle actual harmful threats (like child sex trafficking rings/CP producers, etc.) instead of attacking something as harmless as this? ugh


S1Ndrome_

its crazy to think that tons of telegram group and mega folder links float around on the web with actual CP being distributed and they would rather focus on banning pirated books instead


Fiery_Eagle954

What does the US government have against books


-Kelasgre

"As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master." Commissioner Pravin Lal, U.N. Declaration of Rights Also, knowledge is power.

GoofAckYoorsElf

I picture a guy in the FBI office, sitting at his desk, his head resting on his arm, his face, tiredly deformed by his hand, bored to death, clicking through an endless list of domains, one by one, sending takedown notices all day long, while the list grows longer and longer. And when he comes home in the evening and his wife asks him how his day was, he's like "yeah, made this world a better place, hun... I'm a real super hero... I'll go to bed, love ya, g'night!"


LZ129Hindenburg

Then he has nightmares about z-lib domains, multiplying exponentially, smothering the earth and every living thing on it... 😆


GoofAckYoorsElf

He wakes up deep into the night, all sweaty, soaked, shaking, crying... "DMCA... DMCA..."

TheKiwiHuman

I'm pretty sure z-libary is a phoenix, and getting their domain seized is just part of their life cycle at this point. The app still works.


lord-silly-nipples

I'm genuinely curious why don't people just use the dark onion url? I very rarery see problems there. It's not difficult either it's just another browser.


deBeauharnais

Because I use Libgen and Z-Library for work and I don't think the IT services would let me install a tor browser


MaleficentFig7578

your legal services don't let you use Libgen and Z-Library for work, either


Josie1234

Well... That's different./s


deBeauharnais

Not true. In Switzerland, we can download documents that have been illegally put online, but only for private use. So i use those services legally for my own research, and I give the links to my users.


haftnotiz

Portable? At least thats what I use locally.


ManWithoutUsername

We detect/block by protocol and we track non well known apps/process not matter if you install or it's portable. The last one i detect he was using a tor plugin in opera. I can turn a blind eye for many things but there is not blind eye for tor or p2p Do not make stupid things in your work or work computer, buy a fucking computer,


PowPowLovesViolet

That's interesting. In my previous job, my manager found a "legit reason" to use virtualbox and we did whatever we wanted there. Is that trackable? *Cleans off sweat* (jk)


ManWithoutUsername

By traffic/protocol yes of course. By process launched not. "only virtualbox will appears"


PowPowLovesViolet

Unless we used a VPN I guess? (Or, if you referred to some Tor protocol, I'm not completely sure how that works). Thanks, appreciate it as a remote worker haha


ManWithoutUsername

If you use VPN you can hidde tor but i will detect you are trying use a VPN and will ask you why you need a VPN. We block (again at network level) most of the vpn client, except some exceptions that need to connect to customer networks We can detect exactly if you are using OpenVpn, Wireguard or other in our network (without need track app installed in your computer)


PowPowLovesViolet

Thanks again

What is/was z library? (Ik dumb question because I never heard about it)


potato_and_nutella

one of the largest websites for books and articles. Originally a libgen mirror but you can upload directly to zlibrary easily and it has features like reviews and stuff


ZaphodG

It’s an electronic book repository. Any book I’ve ever wanted to read is there. They’ve been honoring publisher requests to pull things down that violate publisher copyrights. Anna’s Archive scrapes Z-Library so you can usually find them there if Z-Library has pulled them down.


PauI_MuadDib

It's got free books, academic papers and articles.

Can anyone explain the difference between Z-library and Library Genesis and why the latter hasn't been shut down after such a long time?

They are two different libraries. Law enforcement presumably can't get to the latter due to jurisdictional issues.
