There is no chance that I would risk this. I would gladly donate several Terabytes of seeding if this possible in a secure and _anonymous_ network.

#32Still no meaningful promises around the safety or effectiveness of this. Seems like this will get many people a love letter from their ISP. Not worth the hassle with no idea of if this will work in even the medium term.
> Seems like this will get many people a love letter from their ISP.
Many countries just don't care. A few EU ones and USA might, but once you go into slightly poorer territories, noone cares about foreign copyright.
So, treat it like you would treat seeding a pirate bittorrent.

So when you copy answers on a test, that is seen as valid by the teachers because the other person's answers are intact; correct?
Completely false equivalence. Copying answers isn't bad because you are infringing on someones "right" to have control over their answers. It is bad because you are commiting academic fraud and seeking a qualification you have not earned. You are claiming anothers achievement as your own. Me reading a pirated book does not mean I claim to be the author.
I guess the elephant in the room is that you're not paying the authors for what they created; in this sense it's like "stealing". Someone spends time and resources making something and you use that something without compensating that someone. I agree it's not exactly like stealing (that's why we invented a different word for it), bt ut's still something that is unfair to the book author(s).

Copying is not stealing. Stealing removes the original, copying leaves the original intact.
Copying is privacy and piracy is still an issue for the host.
Piracy is a misnomer used to make people feel like unauthorized copying is "stealing", since "piracy" traditionally refers to people who perform armed robbery on high seas.
Copying can be unauthorized, but when you say it as it is, "unauthorized copying" sounds a lot less terrible then "stealing" and "piracy", and is more precise in meaning.

#36Z-library is used for steeling author's work. Does IPFS want to support it ? z-library is not equivalent to sci-hub.
Copying is not stealing. Stealing removes the original, copying leaves the original intact.
let's just be adults here and face it. unless using rhetoric, we still dont know how to deal with piracy in 2022

how? i am behind NAT for example, i tried doing it. it did not work. Is there a way for people who have just 20 mbit/s up/downstream and do not have an stable IP addres from home behind NAT? I would run a server for long for seeding if it would be over TOR.
Dude come on, 20mb/s who will you serve with that, forget about it and move near a backbone.
Well.. do you have Money for moving and paying subscription? :D

Running a hidden service on Tor should work without problems behind NAT
You mean, i can do a Hidden Service from behind NAT and connect that to IPFS via onion URL?
Let me see if i can figure this out :D
Re: Help seed Z-Library on IPFS
#39Instructions are not easy. I want a out of the box solution to help without having to deeply dig into the internals.
Something like archive team warriors: http://warrior.archiveteam.org/
For example,
> Bitswap vs DHT
I don't care. I want to help without having to care about these details.
> Launch one or multiple IPFS servers (see previous blog post; we currently use 4 servers in Docker).
what? how? where? link? no out of the box deployment?
> Alternatively, you can do what we did: add in offline mode first, add the files, then take the node online, peer with public gateways, and then finally run ipfs dht provide -r .
what? lol

#40It would be nice if we could read these books online rather than having to download a file and find some sort of reading app for it. Like, what am I supposed to do with an "azw3" file? And do I really want evidence of piracy sitting on my hard disk?
In all likelihood the book you are looking for is available as a .pdf The "best" format for reading books is epub, as it is an opwn format which does not try to adapt a paper format. There are many free readers available for it. >And do I really want evidence of piracy sitting on my hard disk?

I disagree. ePub assumes that the thing you are reading can easily be reformatted – for mathematics, technical documents, or similar, this is really not true. I've got a few technical books where the publisher released them as either a LaTeX'd pdf or an epub and on my iPad reading the ePub is _awful_ -- the layout is worse, it's very distracting, and the effort that the author put into ideally putting "this equation" and "this text referring to this equation" together has been lost.
