The other domains are still online, though z-library has yet to respond
I’ve seen this ‘z-library seized’ image shared around much prior to this, but I couldn’t find the source
It’s unlikely to have actually been done by the FBI
Why would you take down a website for a c++ compression library?
They’re destroying whatever credibility they might’ve had by acting like trolls. Like at this point they might as well be posting racist wojak memes in these cards.
It really doesn’t help their cause or make people want to believe them, and even to normies it comes off as extremely hard grasping. It makes them look weaker. It only helps the cause for people who already onboard, which is useless because those people are already onboard, it’s preaching to the choir.
The more they try to stop us, the more we will come back
Is this satire?
no
This is how they’re spending it:
- rainbow weather machines
- FEMA trailers
- supporting gator farmers
- latest kohls fashion
the American dream
Are there domains that ARE up and running, currently?
Oh God they’re removing faces from people?!? 😭
WHY?! They have no mouth but they must scream!
Is the post description bugged out? I see a lot of comments mentioning things that are already mentioned in it.
Here's the post description, in case it is bugging out

why do you think it wasn’t done by the fbi? fbi is public about their campaign against z-lib devs. and the z-lib devs did acknowledge this siezure in may

This is none of the domains mentioned in the article, and as far as I know this site was only modified yesterday.
This image has also been floating around for a while, but I don’t know how often the FBI reuses target-specific images.
you can do a whois, which shows that the redirect is to a domain used for domain seizures. you should edit your post, as it is factually incorrect.

Understood, I’ll edit it now.
Because even the worst of bureaucracy employees isn’t going to put “this is how [russian cybercriminals] are spending [money]” and place some absolutely weird pictures of a small and cheap house next to a pond, a small and cheap trailer being pulled in snow, a relatively nice but middle-class affordable boat in a swamp, and a family of four by a pool.
well the fact is that they did.

seizedservers is apparently a commonly used domain to redirect domain seizures to. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/technology/z-library-ebook-site-domains-seized-by-us-dept-of-justice/.
Uh, dude. No one is saying that the FBI didn’t seize the domain, but go look for yourself whether they have turdy little pictures of how they are spending the money.
the seized domain z-library.se displays those exact photos?
Shows up on voyager. Some people just read the title/image and scroll down.
As a wannabe author, I could only be so lucky to get my work “pirated”. Free publicity.
Seriously. I managed a small rock band for a while. We got picked to tour with another band in some clubs in Eastern Europe. This was pre-Spotify, but Facebook strong.
We had no CD sales pre-tour to these places, just some views on youtube. We were relying a lot on the other band.
But the people that came to the shows?They knew the words and sang along and we had a great time.
Someone had our music and shared it before we got there. And we were grateful for those pirates!! And yes, we sold some merch and CDs at the shows.
If not for the pirates it would have been a much different experience with a lot less people showing up.
Our band never “made it” but it was still a successful tour and a helluva lot of fun. In large part because our music was pirated and shared ahead of time.
Damn can’t believe the guy saving me so much money is able to have some fun with their family. How dare they
Images of a modest middle class vacation
FBI: this should make you feel bad, that modest middle class vacation is at the cost of the publishing company CEO’s second yacht being smaller than he promised his children. It doesn’t even have a helipad!
LUXURY!
I swear this is an old photo from at least a few months ago. I remember people joking about the caravan and boat being so extravagant
Me too
I always use the .onion domain that I find at https://lemm.ee/c/[email protected]

FBI should care more about Epstein’s friends instead of having fun with digital books
The suppression of the means to educate, as a priority, is a purposeful tactic to subdue dissent.
I hope Z Library, and others like it, live on like the hydra.
Yeah for real, why is Bill Gates still among polite society?
Yeah but Epstein’s friends are rich and have ready access to attorneys.
More evidence that our justice system is more about punishing the poor.
I mean, what would be the point at this point? Majority of the country is apparently okay with Epstein style activities given his best friend who has bragged about having the same tastes got elected
