isnt this a bit like the annas archive situation? they cant find the owner?
Is Libgen even an entity? What constitutes "Libgen"? I think there might be a way to make this claim invalid by a round-about shrug: "what's libgen"?
Isn't this kinda like old man yells at cloud?
Yep exactly. Or when Putin orders and arrest of a critic....who is in an entirely different country
Eh, that's a bit different. The Russian state does carry out assassinations of critics.
