In what’s partly an effort to push back against domain seizures and blocking efforts, Z-Library has upgraded its mirror infrastructure. Users of the shadow library can now create custom-branded, login-only mirrors of the site, creating a network of stealthy, white-label pirate sites. Running a mirror site comes with costs and legal risk, but Z-Library offers to share a 20% cut of its donations as compensation.

    While I’m not willing to accept the legal risk associated with running one of these, I wish the best to those who do.

    I’m also curious to examine the hosting practices employed by the mirrors that survive, as I think these are the hosts, DNS providers, and domain registrars that are actually pro-freedom, in practice.
