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.

    You’re right. I was one of the first people he talked to, on a post yesterday about the paradox of tolerance where he proclaimed that his sole reason for existence is to be an asshole to people who call themselves tolerant.

    We argued back and forth for awhile, but I eventually clocked him as a troll and I really just want to see if I can get him to burn out.

    Also want to give people a heads up so that they don’t end up in the same loop I did at first. This guy is pretty vile. Just today he denied that the holocaust was even that bad because “not all the jews died”

      I get it, just pointing out that you should be following your own advice on this as there is no point in feeding the trolls. Just block and move on bro. No point following them around lemmy engaging with them at every opportunity. People are smart enough to work it out for themselves.

        I’ll take your advice into consideration. I probably will when I get bored of it. I’m actually quite amused just wasting this guy’s time at the moment

          Well the rest of us just see two trolls instead of one so don’t expect anyone to treat you favourably when you’re acting just as bad as the original troll.

            That’s a perfectly fair conclusion. But I don’t mind. I’m not really trying to impress anyone

            I see, making fun of clowns who don’t understand why centralized database for books is retarded is “trolling”.

            Goodluck with your eggs in one basket idea, don’t tell me that I didn’t tell you so when Z-library fails, and it will, because it can’t even keep few domains up, lmfao.

              Nice. Love to see you lash out at a group that might have been sympathetic
