More likely they are worried about throwing their money away if the US now has a taste for takedowns.
Anna deserves/needs the support just as much if they have to deal with US takedowns though
Hosting in the US, by someone in the US is foolish if your goal is breaking US copyright laws.

Although I have grown increasingly frustrated with the Kindle ecosystem, I don't think this is a fair complaint. Amazon lets you download a sample of any book in their library, which is usually pretty substantial -- can be multiple chapters depending on the length of the book. I use this mechanism as my "shopping cart" where I just freely download samples of books that seem even slightly interesting. Later I can brow…
Everyone's different. You find that a sample that Amazon chooses for you is sufficient for you. OP finds that physically picking up the book and looking at whatever they want is sufficient for them.
I agree that physically picking up the book is a satisfying experience; I find myself often browsing in physical bookstores or libraries in order to find material that I will buy on my kindle. But that's not what OP was saying or that I was responding to.

Note that their TOR domains are still up: http://zlibrary24tuxziyiyfr7zd46ytefdqbqd2axkmxm4o5374ptpc52... and http://loginzlib2vrak5zzpcocc3ouizykn6k5qecgj2tzlnab5wcbqhem...
Those domains are up, but downloading doesn't work right now, possibly because their CDN uses non-onion domain names. They're timing out.

Don't use US based domains if you suspect there might be a possibility in the future that some US agency or entity can seize you domains? Applies for any other jurisdiction.
You can use decentralized alternative domain name systems. OpenNIC is completely decentralized and there are a few projects which implement DNS on a blockchain, that would be the best solution to this kind of a problem. https://blog.cpanel.com/what-is-a-decentralized-domain-name-...
Z-Library is still accessible via TOR. You may find and onion-URL in Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-Library
Fortunately someone had the foresight to make a backup: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32972923 Z-library were in it for commercial gain (you could access a certain number of books but to get more you had to pay for a subscription). They started out as a fork of library genesis, whose mission has always been strictly non-commercial and about providing free access to everyone without limits. Hopefully this will…
Holy shit! Did not see this coming, but glad we saved this collection just in time. (I'm Anna, the one who made the backup). We are working on hosting this collection, as well as saving other large collections. Please consider supporting us, donation details at http://pilimi.org (we'll set up a patreon-like system soon)
I think it's really funny that the actual legal notice that's now on the site has a background image that could come from a 90s hacker movie.
