https://mg.scihub.ltd/
ubu-web
kenneth goldsmith's baby - an archive of avant-garde cinema and writing
http://ubu.com/
Leeszaal
not an online pirate library, but a volunteer-run place in Rotterdam where you can borrow books, look up information, learn how to use LINUX, study or just read the newspaper. Books are not catalogued, and if you want to borrow one, just take it off the shelf and walk out with it :)
https://www.leeszaalrotterdamwest.nl/
-------------------------------------------
legal online libraries &amp; archives
Project Gutenberg
books are within the public domain (70+ years after death of the author), so free of copyright restrictions:
https://www.gutenberg.org/
The Internet Archive
hosts a collection of books and more, also has the wayback machine (snapshots of web pages going back to the 90s)
https://archive.org/
--------------------------------------------
projects &amp; open letters in support of and about piracy/peeracy
In solidarity with Library Genesis and Sci-Hub

The Piracy Project
http://andpublishing.org/the-piracy-project/
--------------------------------------------
loose thoughts from our conversation
misspellings on ebay - how to exploit this to find undiscovered items http://fatfingers.com
bootlegged DVDs and PS1 games - "chipping" to play bootlegged games
social capital accumulated from having a chipped console
The Pirate Book
historical stories of piracy - warez, demoscene, music etc:
https://hub.xpub.nl/bootleglibrary/read/290/pdf
selling unauthorised copies out of a car boot = "boot"legging?
why do we feel it's more threatening to pirate books than movies/music/games etc?
where does the text reside?
what if i read a book out loud and make a file on youtube - is it bootlegging?
can the library also have audio/visual media?
yes - the library is running on open-source software, so definitely possible. this requires an upgrade of the computer and data storage
what is more of a risk - a shared google drive of PDFs or the bootleglib?
a shared google drive is more risky - the bootleg library has several security measures in place to keep it private
will i get into trouble for using the bootleg library?
haha - not very likely :)
can readers communicate with each other through the bootleglib?
not directly, but possible by adding links to etherpads (like this one) in the description fields

things to watch:
Digital Amnesia
https://youtu.be/NdZxI3nFVJs
"Our memory is dissipating. Hard drives only last five years, a web page is forever changing and theres no machine left that reads 15-year old floppy disks. Digital data is vulnerable. Yet entire libraries are shredded and lost to budget cuts, because we assume everything can be found online."
The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz
https://archive.org/details/TheInternetsOwnBoyTheStoryOfAaronSwartz
"The Internet's Own Boy depicts the life of American computer programmer, writer, political organizer and Internet activist Aaron Swartz. It features interviews with his family and friends as well as the internet luminaries who worked with him. The film tells his story up to his eventual suicide after a legal battle, and explores the questions of access to information and civil liberties that drove his work."
--------------------------------------------
King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard
Polygondwanaland is free for everybody and you can do with what you.

Make tapes, make CDs, make records.
[...]
Ever wanted to start your own record label? GO for it! Employ your mates, press wax, pack boxes. We do not own this record. You do. Go forth, share, enjoy."
