Thank you! Another commenter mentioned they found a book by the same name on MAM, but by an author I didn't see mentioned on the publisher's site, so it's very likely a separate work by someone else. It is fairly huge, so making a digital scan is a project in and of itself.

This is the official URL.

From the excerpts on the site, there wasn't any 1 specific author (I didn't see anyone with the name you mentioned in my skim), but several contributors, since it was a Kickstarter project funded by interested parties who wanted a modernized and compiled version of all 13 volumes in 1 book.

Thank you either way! You didn't have to do that, but you did which I'm very thankful for! ☺

That's what I read as well. You would think they would've gotten some leeway since it was done during an event comparable to war and they were following the footsteps of other digital libraries. They had a pretty stellar reputation and system in place for nearly a decade already, so I can only assume that they were simply waiting for an opportunity to target them.

I hope this is where it stops. Current laws aren't too favourable towards projects like these and the IA depends heavily on donations so I don't think they'd be able to withstand multiple drawn out court battles. I'm just waiting to see what gets affected exactly and to what extent.

I didn't say it was dead, most of its domains were seized by the US, so they were in fact run off like dogs. I made a post a month or two back mentioning the new domain they have.

Lmao I'm so sorry! I realised afterwards what was happening, but have no idea how to fix it since I'm still fairly new to Lemmy. I hope it didn't inconvenience you too much!

Sci-Hub stopped adding new articles since its court case and Z-Lib had most of its domains seized by the US. I didn't say they were dead, but tried to convey that they were attacked and forced to either cease their operations or shrink significantly.

Wow! This is incredible! Thank you so much!

It's the reason why I love piracy and OER so much! Sci-Hub was such a great help when I wanted to read research papers and archive when I wanted to read an important article. It's disheartening the way information is being so heavily gatekeeped and access to products being commercialized using a subscription-based model rather than a one and done deal.

I used to be on IPT but they disabled my account earlier this year after I forgot to login within the 3 month time frame. I tried reaching out via IRC and got banned because my connection kept rejoining(?) the channel while I left for about 30 min. until an admin/mod finally logged online and thought I was a bot. Doesn't MAM require proof of seeding and whatnot? I don't have a seedbox so I don't think I'd be able to join :(

Sadly, these books aren't available at the library. Libraries where I'm from depend on book donations, so many of the books don't go beyond 2010-2015 and anything published after those years are impossible to get unless you order them on Amazon or via the magazine website.

Thank you, but I already checked AA and unfortunately, it didn't have any of them. Ebook3000 used to have most magazine issues, but it finally shutdown some time this year and I have no clue if it's permanently gone or they changed their URL. Ebook-Hunter is a bit of a letdown compared to it, but I suppose beggars can't exactly be choosers.
