Introducing a new open-source shadow library!
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Hey everyone! 📚 I’m excited to introduce Bookracy, an open-source shadow library dedicated to preserving and freely sharing knowledge. With a large and growing collection, Bookracy is (annoying) ad-free, non-profit, and lightning-fast ⚡—plus, it’s fully open-source and powered by a passionate community. Whether you're a reader, researcher, or developer, there’s a place for you here. Check out our Reddit, website, GitHub, and hop into our Discord to join the conversation and help grow this movement for open access! 🤝❤️
Bookracy doesn’t exploit the copyrighted material for financial gain, unlike typical piracy websites that might sell access to pirated content or host popup / redirect ads for profit And for the part of me commiting a crime its always innocent until proven guilty - if it can be proven im storing the books fair play but weve taken precautions against that paying through crypto bulletproof servers ect
The publishers don't care. They're suing LibGen, scihub, etc nonetheless. Non-commercialism will not protect you. Crypto can be very traceable, it's by definition an open ledger, and "bulletproof servers" is a term applied very broadly, often by dubious actors. Besides that, any Opsec is only as strong as the weakest link. You're running a second domain via Namecheap, for fucks sake! Don't take this lightly, this is not a game. A state actor could probably identify you within days. Are you ready for that?
the namecheap domain was bought using fake details on a paypal that had no card connected to it - but i understand which is why i bought a .ru domain from cheapprivacy.ru
