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.

Bittorrent already doesn’t depend on DNS. Any clown solution that depends on DDL will always be inferior to just straight up Bittorrent.

You know what? Insulting people isn’t helping. I’m just going to block you.

I love how you follow up the “I didn’t insult anyone” defense immediately with an insult. Can’t help yourself?

That is so so so dumb that it’s actually impressive you decided to add on being a dick to top it off.

Although I agree that bit torrent is a good protocol, DDL is still a valuable method of maintaining mass accessibility, and an important aspect of transport as it requires next to no background skills or knowledge, it’s also symbolic to the concept that many people simply do not believe piracy is necessarily a crime unless it turns a profit, or prevents or reduces a sale from occurring.

Why are libraries still existing despite all the wild cunt kings high on their own megalomania who’ve gone and burned libraries and attempted to destroy civilization?
