Open Libraries: How Long Will They Last
I noticed this article at Torrent Freak. https://torrentfreak.com/brein-cracks-down-on-open-directory-piracy-but-what-is-it-201115/
Seems there's a coming crackdown on Open Libraries. These are libraries you discover by searching for "index of" epub. For example
https://html.duckduckgo.com/html?q=%22index%20of%22%20epub
It works with other types of files as well: e.g., "index of" mp4.
If these are going to start disappearing, we might want to save what we can first. Here's a library with a fair amount of SF and crime fiction.

Libraries on the Internet overlay networks are less easy to censor, as are torrents.
