"This dissertation examines the dynamics of Black Open Access, a pirate-driven phenomenon, addressing inequities in academic publishing through shadow libraries and text piracy."

Academic papers cannot be pirated, because academic research is paid by and therefore owned by the public. There, I said it.

#LibGen and other #ShadowLibraries are just cutting out the rent-seekers, a.k.a. Elsevier and the rest.

Books are a different story, though. But as always, there is a big BUT: orphaned works.

I’ve been thinking lately (always a mistake) about all the cultural works to which we don't have access. Everything removed from streaming; everything locked behind DRM so that most libraries and archives won't have copies which can redundantly survive disruption. Sometimes I get real sad about the future readers and historians and others who just won't be able to find copies of the incredible things made during the current digital dark age.

As ever, I try to let this radicalize me rather than lead me into despair. I know that there are lots of horrors worth raging against, but this is one I feel well-positioned to work against. It's low-stakes enough that I won't feel self-loathing if I burn out or need to take a break. It's no secret that I like to read and organize books so this is a topic close to my heart and one which can bring me joy and allow me to share it with those around me too. There is a fair bit of tech nerd stuff to it, enough that I have an opportunity to learn & practice new things, but not so much that I’m totally out of my depth. And there are plenty of communities out there to help and share strategies.

But the big thing I see missing from my understanding and many of the conversations about shadow libraries and unauthorized archivism is the social and professional practice of librarianship rather than mechanical practice of data storage. I don't have space to go to library school, but I could definitely stand to read (and archive) introductory books on the topic, or take an online class. Friends who know: what are some of the better places to get started with an introduction to library & information science and archive science?

Infosec.TownTilde Lowengrimm (@tilde)Corporations hoard & suppress culture. They try to lock the collected art of the last century behind DRM & streaming. They want us to own nothing & have no rights. Pay and consume; never create, never control. These artificial psychopaths (run by ordinary human sociopaths) are parasites. They know the price of everything and the value of nothing. Art and culture are just tools for profit, not things which hold meaning, tell stories, or inspire. They have no respect for the society which supports them or for the people who create. We should have just as much respect for them. Simultaneously, the LLM-purveyors want to vacuum up every scrap of writing and every video & picture & podcast to replace human creation with synthetic slop. It's already ruined search & wordfreq. If the art-stealing robots are allowed to "train on" all art & culture so that they can churn out trash, then you sure as heck deserve to re-watch your own re-runs whenever you feel like it. Not just because it might inspire you to make something better than corporate synthetic dumbasses. But because you're a human person and that's a good enough reason to deserve a personal archive of all art and knowledge. The only obstacles to this are corporate & capitalist. Dust off your tricorn hat & update your NAS. Make local copies of the art which matters to you. Actual files on a physical hard drive or SD card in your hand. Back up your bookmarks offline — the web rots and that one post with the answer might not be there next time you need it. Don't rely on the Internet Archive; it's under attack and may not survive. Share with others; rebuild Alexandria. This is not a new thought. I wasn't the first to say it; I won't be the last. But it bears repeating. This is not a post about tools or tactics; it's about outrage and action, resilience and community. But I'd love to hear your suggestions. What's your favorite tool for guerilla archivism? How do you keep backups of your bookmarks? What should aspiring archivists know?

In a new paper, Alexandra Elbakyan (the founder of #SciHub) distinguishes between four different types of “Black Open Access”:
· classic shadow libraries, e.g. Library Genesis;
· online literature-sharing communities;
· automatic tools for paywall circumvention, e.g. Sci-Hub;
· academic social networks, e.g. Academia.edu / Researchgate

She also suggests a colour spectrum to acknowledge the significance of these open access models: preprints.org/manuscript/20240

Anna's Archive: "The critical window of shadow libraries"
annas-archive.org/blog/critica
"Unfortunately, the advent of LLMs, and their data-hungry training, has put a lot of copyright holders on the defensive. Even more than they already were. Many websites are making it harder to scrape and archive, lawsuits are flying around, and all the while physical libraries and archives continue to be neglected.
We can only expect these trends to continue to worsen, and many works to be lost well before they enter the public domain.
We are on the eve of a revolution in preservation, but 'the lost cannot be recovered'. We have a critical window of about 5-10 years during which it’s still fairly expensive to operate a shadow library and create many mirrors around the world, and during which access has not been completely shut down yet."

#ShadowLibraries #Copyright #IP #OpenAccess #Piracy #FileSharing: "In 2024, the Internet Archive, a massively popular digital library nonprofit, removed more than 500,000 books from its Open Library catalog after losing its appeal for being sued by four U.S. publishers. The publishers argued that the Internet Archive’s lending policy used during the pandemic, in which it loaned multiple e-book copies of a single book at once, infringed on copyright law.

This decision has sparked discussions on the importance and ethics of access to information, bringing free library sites — like shadow libraries — into the spotlight.

A shadow library is an online database of free, readily available content like books, textbooks, academic articles or other digital media. It provides access to materials that may be normally inaccessible due to paywalls or copyright conditions."
