FBI confiscated more than 130 domain names of the largest pirate library Z-library

The FBI has confiscated the domain names of one of the most popular resources for "pirated" books and articles, Z-library. It was used by students and researchers from poor countries who "cannot afford the millions of dollars of subnoscription fees that some of the big publishers charge." Users counted more than 130 seized domains.

Prior to the events, the service claimed that its repository contains more than 11 million books and 80 million articles. Many students used it to avoid paying hundreds of dollars for university textbooks.

Now on the pages of the service there is a warning from the FBI and the Prosecutor's Office. It says that a warrant has been issued for the removal of domain names.

“This domain has been seized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation pursuant to a warrant issued pursuant to Article 18 U.S.C. Sections 981(b) and 21 U.S.C. § 853(f) of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York as part of a law enforcement action. U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The authorities declined to comment. The media speculated that the site was caught in the spotlight by a new trend on TikTok that talked about the use of the library.

At the end of October, the Authors Guild wrote a complaint to the office of the US Trade Mission, noting "19 million views due to the countless videos posted by college and high school students and others around the world" that "advertised "library" as a place for free e-books.

Authors Alliance chief executive Dave Hansen said the confiscation was "part of a larger effort by the authorities to crack down on digital repositories that offer access to paid content for free." He said third-world researchers, who "can't afford the millions of dollars of subnoscription fees that some of these big publishers charge," have now lost access to the articles.

Be slow when you make plans. Be quick when you implement it.

It's not the motivation videos and talks that motivate us.

It's the vision, the dreams and regular growth that keeps us on fire everyday.

Until we have a why it's never possible to reach a big goal.

But the Most important is starting small.

It don't matter how big our goal is, to know it's basics, learn, grow and develop, it's always advised to start small.
