Tipp fĂĽr #ShadowLibrary-Interessierte auf dem #39c3 - Stichwort #CUII
Netzsperren werden in Deutschland von großen Industrieunternehmen direkt ins Werk gesetzt. Es gibt da anscheinend keinen Anspruch an Transparenz oder Anfechtbarkeit.

Powerful post on the LSE Impact Blog on the important role shadow libraries such as #scihub play in India:

I found out one of my novels, Quake City, is in the #shadowlibrary Library Genesis and was likely used to train Meta's #AI. Let's talk about this.
#LibGen: You pirated my novel and I would prefer to have been paid, but I'm fine with that. You do great work in making books accessible. Keep it up.
