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. Site operators, meanwhile, no longer court the gaze of the media, certainly not under their real names while revealing their future piracy plans. In 2010, things were somewhat different; once considered a public good, sharing books today can trigger an FBI investigation.

Other than redacting trumps name in the Epstein files. I heard that’s a full time job for thousands of agents.

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