Help contents of dying libgen to stay alive
Hi kovidgoyal

Would you like to be so kind to add some features to help preserving the libgen contents?

i.e. adding import from libgen DB? There are no more devs there, and the library itself still has a pair of almost demotivates speakers. But we are old its associates and have all the knowledge of what ought to be done.

Please make me know if you would like to help.

Isn't LibGen considered a pirate site for making copyrighted works available?

Yes, they are proven to be pirates and ignoring court judgements.

Reuters 14 Sep 2023
A Manhattan judge ruled for publisher Elsevier in another case against LibGen in 2017, but the new lawsuit said it ignored court orders and continued its alleged piracy using different web domains.

Using them deprives authors of income, not just big greedy publishers.
