Don’t give your money to the Russian cybercriminals

they’re not selling ebooks, they’re giving them away, that’s the whole point

I think the folks who gave me some books can have a camping trip in a marsh.

[-] [email protected] 98 points 9 months ago

Wow, I'm so upset that these people providing an invaluable service to the world have a modicum of comfort in their lives!

[-] [email protected] 82 points 9 months ago

The dude went on a camping trip with a range rover and caravan, along with a rented boat, and that's somehow worth making a fuss according to the FBI?

[-] [email protected] 77 points 9 months ago

You say that capitalism is bad, and yet you enjoy things. Curious.

Now show us what a vacation of an average US millionaire looks like and why we should give a fuck that they're getting paid a few books less, money which the writer themselves will probably get a sad percentage of anyway

[-] [email protected] 32 points 9 months ago

Fuck the vacation, just show a picture of the average day to day living of the billionaires who own publishing companies and it's already far beyond the conception of the average person

I'll pay them so they can afford something better than a caravan holiday, nobody deserves that.

[-] [email protected] 32 points 9 months ago

Pretty much every second Afrikaans family goes on a caravan or camping holiday during the school holidays here in South Africa lol. It's basically a tradition at this point.

[-] [email protected] 49 points 9 months ago

This is actually pathetic. Is this real? Is this supposed to look like opulence? Show us some "copyright holder" camping trips please

Fuck I never thought i'd experience second hand embarrassment from the FBI, this reeks of desperation, cringe

Russian admins: feds want me, fish fear me grillman

Z-library living it up like they're 1950s auto workers taking a week off to go fishing around Baldwin, MI.

Edit: It reminds of the handwringing about Bernie Sanders having a vacation cabin. Having a cabin used to be extremely common in the unionized Midwest, and in the USSR having a dacha to hang out at was also very normal. It's something a society with advanced industry can easily achieve. Capitalists are trying to erase the living memory of countless 100s of millions of people and act like having access to a cabin is an unprecedented luxury.

That's nice they do a lot of good work I hope they enjoy their vacation blob-no-thoughts

[-] [email protected] 53 points 9 months ago

That picture on the bottom left looks quite nice. I hope they enjoyed the trip to the lake

[-] [email protected] 39 points 9 months ago

Hope there weren't any mosquitos.

[-] [email protected] 35 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Spoiler: there were. Though in Russia and generally northern Eurasia mosquitos aren't that much of a problem. Ticks are worse.

Imagine them seizing the RNC website and posting pictures of maralago with the same caption.

So they've spent the vast hordes of money on... what looks like a cheap, semi-decrepit bungalow in a flooded area and a relatively new car, a camper, a small boat and what looks like the kinda view you'd get on most vacations to the mediterranean so I'm gonna assume they're on vacation? Wow they're really living high on the hog

Don't get me wrong, it looks nice, but for the vibe the FBI is throwing out you'd think they were living like Epstein.

Russian cybercriminals

Them being Russian makes it extra bad!

[-] [email protected] 40 points 9 months ago

Hell yeah. Someone saving me hundreds of dollars better get a vacation or two at least

[-] [email protected] 39 points 9 months ago

So continues the trend of the American alphabet agencies continuing to become more and more pathetic

[-] [email protected] 37 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

they can only seize domains? L

[-] [email protected] 35 points 9 months ago

deeply unserious agency

[-] [email protected] 34 points 9 months ago

fedposting AND THEY WENT CAMPING! AND THEY HAD A SMALL FISHING BOAT! THE BOSS DOESN'T EVEN GIVE ME TIME OFF - THE NERVE! IF I CAN'T HAVE TIME OFF WORK THEN NO ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO ENJOY A DAY IN THE SUN!

Hey fed-minders you doing ok buds? I know I've been slacking off in my p0rn binge nights and I appologize for that. Maybe later tonight you can follow my browisng history for some "research" you know "for work" janet-wink get some of that stress off instead of being forced to play McCarthy red scare yadda.

Anna's Archive lists z-lib.gs as a mirror and it's working too, and the mobile app never stopped working. Looks like they couldn't take it down at all lol.

Hope Internet Archive also starts hosting in Russia if the whole fiasco they're going through right now makes them have to shut it down.
