Comment on Bringing the power of books to the fediverse

Isn’t Anna’s Library piracy? Bookwyrm is just a book tracker ala goodreads which only has metadata, providing links to free downloads of books is illegal and would put them under fire.

If you want a legal alternative to what you’re describing, check out OpenLibrary. You can borrow books there and use it as a Goodreads alternative.

Anna’s Archive is way more than just a redirection to sources where you can get the books for free. In that sense the content itself is hosted on different platforms like IPFS, through torrents or on zlibrary and AA is just a discovery, curatorial platform.

  AA is just a discovery, curatorial platform. It isn’t just a discovery/search platform anymore. Source

    I see. Well personally I’m like the way it goes but I understand that many people don’t see it like that. Nevertheless it has a huge database we could profit from.
