    There are like two MEGACORPS that run educational textbook industry. I know many students who used Z-Library to get their textbooks. It's crazy that IP law is ALWAYS about money, nothing else. IP law does nothing but get in the way of education and knowledge creation. Z-Lib was the plug.

    The dude went on a camping trip with a range rover and caravan, along with a rented boat, and that's somehow worth making a fuss according to the FBI?

      You say that capitalism is bad, and yet you enjoy things. Curious.

    Now show us what a vacation of an average US millionaire looks like and why we should give a fuck that they're getting paid a few books less, money which the writer themselves will probably get a sad percentage of anyway

      Fuck the vacation, just show a picture of the average day to day living of the billionaires who own publishing companies and it's already far beyond the conception of the average person

            They have their own tennis court which is larger than most people's homes. There are entire families living in apartments smaller than that.

    I'll pay them so they can afford something better than a caravan holiday, nobody deserves that.

      Pretty much every second Afrikaans family goes on a caravan or camping holiday during the school holidays here in South Africa lol. It's basically a tradition at this point.
