No it's not. This was one example of a powerful resource. Another is Libgen, and the List of Awesome

Thank you, great resource! It's very sad to see the feds going after libraries with the recent attacks against libgen (And potentially Internet Archive). Hopefully these libraries truly will be preserved forever. Information belongs to everyone.
In his ruling, Judge McMahon wrote, 'The plaintiffs (the publishers) have suffered irreparable harm as a result of the defendants' (LibGen operators') unlawful conduct and will continue to suffer harm if the defendants are permitted to continue operating LibGen,' and said LibGen's operation should be stopped.

In the words of Ubisoft we need to feel "comfortable with not owning your game". If buying is not owning then piracy is not stealing.
Got any recommended resources for piracy sites/lists?
The Patriot Act and Snowden's leaks have shown companies will go against their privacy policy to appease governments. Search engines especially are targeted by five eyes with the PRISM program where copies of all your data, linked to your payment, are sent to Five Eyes and stored. Gag orders and legal threats prevent disclosure, as has been done with prior tech companies who have tried to push back against this.
Be wary of trusting corporations with your data as monetization is a powerful incentive.
I'm worried eventually even Kagi will get enshittified. It has been a common trend that almost always occurs. Open source is the only way to ensure stability. Conflict of interest is what leads to companies either overcharging, or even accepting to get bought out.
Don't get me wrong, Kagi seems to be a great company thus far! But for something as important as search it would be best to have an open source solution.
Altavista was ahead of their time. The modern internet desperately needs a technical search engine.
Thanks for the comment! It is cool and also pretty aesthetically pleasing!
Yeah lol. Search engines have gone down in quality so bad it really does feel like that. It has been so difficult finding stuff on google/duckduckgo etc that I have to rely on portals now.
Thank you all for your answers!
I wanted to add one resource I found that has helped me find even more relevant search results:
A Lemmy Search Engine https://www.search-lemmy.com/
Numberphile, Computerphile, PBS Spacetime, PBS Infinite Series (sad they stopped), Standup Maths, 3Blue1Brown

Sorry didn’t mean to cause any trouble. I collect and share internet resources with others. If you want to verify this for yourself, my post history has questions similar to this one. I removed the image to make this post more ‘generic’. I am genuinely trying to share resources. My apologies if it came across as advertising.
