Bookracy doesn’t exploit the copyrighted material for financial gain, unlike typical piracy websites that might sell access to pirated content or host popup / redirect ads for profit And for the part of me commiting a crime its always innocent until proven guilty - if it can be proven im storing the books fair play but weve taken precautions against that paying through crypto bulletproof servers ect

ill check it out ty for the suggestion
nah no worries i just realised i might have come off as hostile lmao 😁 ty for the support
only the frontend is vunerable to takedowns - our backend server is proxied thro a bulletproof hosting provider (our sponsor snowcore) masking the ip of the storage server thus making it not vunerable to takedowns
decentralisation isnt the only way to be immune to takedowns theres many more but i get your point
btw the frontend is all open source - the backend will be open source in a month or two after the reqwrite
we arent monetizing the site - we still need a way to fund the project and snowcore have kindly agreed to give use a bulletproof server that we use for caching and proxying between our storage server
all money ever donated or gained is invested back into the project - we arent making anything
i can assure you this isnt a fed op lmao. idk how i can convince you maybe check out the github and check out the devs? some devs are from other big projects like movie-web ect that got taken down.
plus downloads arent hidden behind registration, and we are addnig accounts in the future but its going to be mullvad style - a 12 digit unique identifier so privacy wise theres nothing tying you to the downloads except your ip, which we also dont save so you are fine
i meant annoying ad free as in no redirect or popup ads - we still need a way to fund the project since donations are scarce
having a .ru domain is just precaution against takedowns - none of the devs are russian its just the west and russia dont get along so takedown requests for a .ru domain would be ignored by russia
our model is just like the old movie-web, we are open source and if we are DMCA'd then we will take it down but our mirrors will still be up but i understand the opsec point and may move from discord to signal
our whole model is to be easily self hostable and open source - just like movie-web (who had devs openly showing their names and faces ect in their github profiles) as for my bad opsec im just a hobbyist developer who is contributing to an open source project for fun - nothing else can be proven
