I have to give props to the single-mindedness of copyright liberation zealots who apparently have no problem putting ads on their site. It'd be like if Beethoven began the premiere of the Ninth Symphony by taking a dump at the podium.

I have to give props to the pro-copyright zealots who apparently have no problem raiding the public domain for works.

It'd be like if Mozart wrote a piece titled "Kiss My Ass".

Is this just a site for people to steal authors' work?

Correct. Although this particular incarnation wants you to sign in now, where the last official one required no user account. So go ahead and add harvesting email addresses and maybe passwords to the list of features.

Is there anything that makes it a legit library instead of just a piracy operation?

Like do they buy copies of ebooks and only allow as many simultaneous readers as they have books?

This is hilarious because in this analogy millions of people worldwide happily watch Beethoven take a dump because they couldn’t hear the ninth symphony otherwise. It would be the most popular version of that piece of music in many countries. Generations that would never have heard it gleefully watch him take that dump.
