Online piracy is in the midst of an identity crisis. Sites born with one name tend to discard them quite quickly, before adopting a series of others, hoping to stay one step ahead of the law.

In 2010, things were somewhat different; once considered a public good, sharing books today can trigger an FBI investigation.

Or maybe they're using AI? Somewhere, there could be an LLM trained on the Epstein files.
