Subscribers to Z-Library's popular channel recently noticed that several of the shadow library's messages have been removed "due to copyright infringement."

you're on a piracy community but you're licensing your comments?

if you don't respect other's licences, why should they respect yours?

On the face of it, I appreciate that it looks funny, but the power dynamics are quite different. If I'm caught pirating, my ass could land in jail. If a company is caught pirating, it's written off a business expense.

Would you find it as ridiculous if a slave whipped their owner? If the poor stole from the rich? If the weak took power from the powerful?

What's wrong with trying to prevent companies scrape your data? How is that antithetical to piracy?
