Textbook publishers sue LibGen for copyright infringement

I definitely learned about some new LibGen mirrors today!

It's a shame that their bogus jurisdiction argument against admittedly foreign defendants and (but for three) foreign domain names will likely be accepted unquestioningly by the court. They're probably counting on a default judgement, since anonymous defendants rarely show up to defend themselves.

As always, the long arm of US copyright law knows no bounds.

Is this real? As someone who frequently uses Library Genesis, I must say that this is genuinely not okay.
