[FRIAM] Illegal copies of your book

[Edward Angel]

Yes. libgen is a mirror site for libgen.io <http://lingen.io/> that has everything on it. It gets taken down every once in a while. They lost a suit from the publishers but being located in Eastern Europe that doesn’t help. When I first went to the site, it asked me to turn off my add blocker so THEY could make some money. Then I looked at their donation tab and the only way to donate was via bitcoin or an Eastern European credit card.

Students tell me they all know about the site.
