Very old post. There is also z- library, I think admins escaped from argentina

This is horrible. I'm going to download a bunch of these PDFs so that there are less copies available for other dishonest people to download.

I'm doing my part!

I don't suppose your professor teaches a class in film too and also knows where I SHOULD AVOID PIRATING TV SHOWS?

It's been a long time and I'm not sure which waters are safe to sail anymore.

Please do not visit https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy

Wow that's a 404 for me. Looks like maybe the lemmy.world instance has made that choice for me.

Thank god I'm protected! I would have to create a new account on another instance to lose that protection, which is, uh, good, because...

Anyway I forgot what I was saying.

They did unfederate, so you should definitely not go through a normal web browser.

Reddit.com/r/piracy is also a good place to avoid. Especially their well documented megawiki with lists of loads of sites that facilitate copyright infringement for all forms of media. Avoid at all costs.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

you should also avoid the pastebin service Rentry. there are too many people that are MEGA obsessed with making THREADS with it.

Well, would you look at that? Looks like I kicked another mess under the rug. Deary me.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I bookmarked it to make sure i don't visit it accidentally.

Ripped.guide is the place to see exactly where you should avoid. :)

I'll just recommend Anna's archive... And we all know which Anna I'm talking about (if not, than google and you shall see)

[–] [email protected] 78 points 2 months ago

Btw, libgen domains were seized recently. Here are new ones: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/26690539

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The second one gave me a message that the domain has been seized. :(

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

That's to be expected. It's probably an oldish image. Libgen (and Anna's Archive, et al) have periodically drawn attention from prosecutors, not unlike other so-called "piracy" sites. I wish I had enough storage and upstream to seed their torrents. In particular, Anna's Archive has ebooks of old books I've never been able to find elsewhere, regardless of price. I wish libgen had been around when I was in college.

You can also ask a librarian for help. We like finding things and might be able to get a copy through interlibrary loan or other connections. We also like girl scout cookies, especially the ones with coconut.

If you are are doing any kind of learning (as a citizen or registered student) your local librarian, particularly your local academic librarian, is your best friend and you just don't know it yet. Introduce yourself, and come with questions.

But don't neglect your public librarians either - that light I saw in their eyes when asking about an obscure service they offered stuck with me.

This needs a crosspost in Piracy

No, piracy is bad you see. This isn't advocating piracy, the professor warned them about accessing the sites.
