Blog: Unprecedented seizure of our domains with books on rare languages | Z-Library | Z-Library. Download books for free. Find books

Today we are forced to share some sad news - yesterday many of our domains were seized again. We should highlight that the majority of the seized domains were not mirrors of the Z-Library website. Instead, they were separate sub-projects, containing only books in rare languages of the world, and their blocking is perplexing. For instance, these domains included books in Tamil, Mongolian, Catalan, Urdu, Pashto, and other languages:

afrikaans-books.org

bengali-books.org

urdu-books.org

marathi-books.org

chamorro-books.org

Over the 15 years of the project’s existence, we’ve managed to collect an impressive collection of rare texts in many uncommon languages. These domains featured many unique texts that can’t be found anywhere else, including rare books, documents, and manuscripts. All of this is a priceless heritage, contributing to the preservation and study of world cultures, and serving as important material for researchers in linguistics, anthropology, and history.

Z-Library also states in the blog post that they did not lose the files, just the domains.

Ah yes, I could just make millions of torrents by DDLing one by one through their shitty web UI because retards who have database and files all on their servers aren’t willing to do it.

What an amazing idea…

You clowns clearly don’t care about preserving books.

Doesn’t really sound like you do either. Sounds like you just want to feel superior about pointing it out 🤔
