Fuck Nvidia, but this is an endless game of whack-a-mole. Maybe its time we thought about societal incentives instead of shutting everything down.
If after all this shit we end up with retarded AI and lose libgen in the process, we'll end up with less than we started with...
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Some of the most infamous so-called shadow libraries have increasingly faced legal pressure to either stop pirating books or risk being shut down or driven to the dark web.
That list includes some of the most "notorious" shadow libraries—Bibliotik, Z-Library (Z-Lib), Libgen, Sci-Hub, and Anna's Archive, authors argued.
However, Nvidia hopes to invalidate authors' copyright claims partly by denying that any of these controversial websites should even be considered shadow libraries.
The chipmaker did not go into further detail to define what counts as a shadow library or what potentially absolves these controversial sites from key copyright concerns raised by various ongoing lawsuits.
Instead, Nvidia kept its response brief while also curtly disputing authors' petition for class action status and defending its AI training methods as fair use.
Back in 2022, when feds started cracking down on pirate e-book sites, Anna told Vice that shadow libraries like hers operate on the ethos that "information wants to be free."
