Bad News, Bookworms: Popular E-Book Pirating Site Z-Library Gets Taken Down

Early morning on Friday, the website, along with all the various servers and domains associated with it, got taken down. The website now displays a page that reads “This domain has been seized by the United States Postal Inspection Service in accordance with a court order.”

Z-Library originally started out as BookFinder, a free shadow library that provided pirated e-books, articles and research papers for free. For this reason, it was very popular with students and instructors, and drew over a million unique users each month.

Initially starting out as a completely free service, it changed its model over time, requiring users who had downloaded a certain number of books to subscribe for a fee of a few dollars each month in order to be able to enjoy unlimited downloads.

The site offers over 11 million books and 84 million articles, and has seen a surge in popularity in recent months due to viral TikTok videos. But publishers all over the world have been very unhappy with the website for a long time, with a group in France even winning a site blocking order to prevent people from accessing the site.

Recently, the Author’s Guild, which is an American organization for writers that provides advocacy on issues of free expression and copyright protection, highlighted their growing concern over the website.

“The hashtag #zlibrary on popular social media platform TikTok has 4 million views, in reference to the countless videos posted by college and high school students and others across the world promoting it as the go-to place for free ebooks,” the Guild wrote, adding, “So far there have not been any significant enforcement actions against Z-Library of which we are aware.”

everybody has an opinion

According to https://www.statista.com/statistics/1178109/number-of-pos-terminals-in-nigeria/, there about 1.1million POS in operation as of june 2022. Now 1100,000 multiplied by #200,000 will give 220,000,000,000. There may be other contributing factors but I think this is a major one.

I Came Here For Inspiration But I'm Most Time Disappointed. Nairaland Why? Nigeria Why?

Sometime, I visit the programing section to read about inspiration news about Nigerians performing great in the Tech World.

Can we have an open source website for Nigerians to which every interested programmer can contribute to (on github), and where coding questions get answered and Inspiration news about Nigerian programmers can be shared?

Charisma01:
What did you smoke this afternoon?

Did i say it increased the debt in circulation? When these notes were introduced, they caused the coins and lower denomination notes as 50 kobo, 1 Naira and 5 naira to disappear

I noticed the miscontrue too

Munamoqel:
you don't trust the CBN and you don't have the data . Confused.

Help us here with data if you have any. We will be glad you did.

As of now, I still believe the amount is a suggested estimation, but if you have found any data online, please, share with us. Thanks.

Munamoqel:
there are about 200,000 pos holding 200000 k each =400bn less than 15 percent of the .3.7 trillion

1. I will not deny, there might be other factors responsible for hoarding of cash

2. I believe there will be much more than 200,000 POS operators in Nigeria because each of the 36 states (plus the FCT) has more than 5,405 POS Operators in the individual states. 200,000 ÷ 37(states) = 5405.

3. CBN cannot be trusted with their figures... although the real amount of the hoarded cash may be closer.

Some simple stuffs as these doesn't need to be complicated

brownemmanuel43:
When 500 was introduced, sensible ones didn't buy d ideal, when they phase out 500 and 1000, I believe kobo will appreciate a bit.

I'm happy a some of people just like you still understand simple stuffs as this.

I will be glad if our mod consider this thread frontpage worthy. This will help to collect people's input about the topic.

CBN Should Phase Out #1000 and #500 Notes And reintroduce Nigeria coins, 50Kobo, 1 NGN and 2 NGN.

Nigeria will not be the first nation to discontinue with bank notes with high face values. The United State of America USA used to have $500, $1000, $2000 currency notes until December 14, 1945, when the high denominational bills were last printed and officially discontinued on July 14, 1969 by the Federal Reserve System.

To stabilize Naira and reduce inflation, I believe that there are many economics to be considered but I strongly believe that my suggestion is one of major factor to put into place.

CBN: Here Is Why 80 percent of the nation’s currency notes outside bank vaults

Preponderance of POS Business.

Here is why:

Each POS business operator, hold an average #200,000 in their purse daily to ensure they satisfy their customers who may want to withdraw money through their business.

Let's do the calculation.

Some street can have about 10 POS business operators. If each of the operator has #200k in their purse, that will make about two Million Naira. Just for one street.

According to https://www.statista.com/statistics/1178109/number-of-pos-terminals-in-nigeria/ , there about 1.1million POS in operation as of june 2022. Now 1100,000 multiplied by #200,000 will give 220,000,000,000. There may be other contributing factors but I think this is a major one.

Also:

I also believe that CBN Should Also Phase Out #1000 and #500 Notes And reintroduce Nigeria coins, 50Kobo, 1 NGN and 2 NGN.

Nigeria shalo be great

Lanretoye:
What can 1naira buy if they reintroduce it.

It's a gradual process. Coins will start getting attractive when the high denominations are phased out.

Never give it food anytime you're eating. Simple!

Animals learn too. You cat will soon become used to that fact and stop. Don't ease up on the determination not to give it food while you're eating.

joyandfaith:
I am with op. We don't need more than #200 notes in circulation. If you don't want to carry bulky notes, embrace cashless policy.

Thanks. It will also discourage loathing of cash thereby discourage corruption.

Tolumiide:
I normally point this out too. We are using two different policies on the same money. Cashless policy and high currency denomination doesn't sound well to me. I'm just an engineer, I may be wrong

I hope the CBN will see to this and do something about it

Osinbajo Jokes With Shettima Over Ice Cream: Here Is The Full Gist


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OWEUfD9GWs


During an interview around the time of APC primary election in June 2022, Shettima made comment on TV that nice people like Osinbajo cannot rule this country. That nice men are meant to sell Ice cream, popcorn and agbado

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2E3Jprru0Q

barely, within 24 hours after the statement Prof. Osinbajo went to patronize an Ice cream shop.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDG-byq3xD4

And here we have Osinbajo said: “…Distinguished Kashim Shettima, who is also the majority shareholder and chairman of the Yemi Osinbajo ice cream company,”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OWEUfD9GWs


According to Shettima, does that mean that decent, nice and intellectual individuals like Prof Osinbajo can't rule this nation? If Shettima is coming with this mindset that you need to be evil and wicked to be a leader in Nigeria, doesn't that call for reconsiderations?

If Shettima refer to a know professor of Law as Ice cream seller, what is shettima's known profession apart from politics?

It amazes me how people are bold to show their level ignorance on this platform.

Calling people "idiots" for learning through reading books.

I SMH.

If you need any programing book for free, you can download from this website : https://z-lib.org/

Oyo State Residence Registration: Here's Why You Should Get Registered

There is no other reason for registering than for your security and safety. This is one of pragmatic approach to curb terrorism, banditry and crime in our society.

I got registered today after I found out by chance and I'm so much glad I did.

I want to encourage the state government to please create more awareness about this program.

yo state Governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde has expressed commitment of his government in establishing a comprehensive data base and proper identity management system that would enhance effective planning in the state.

He said this while officially flagging off the state residents registration exercise at Executive Council Chamber, Governor’s office, Ibadan.

Governor Makinde who explained that Nigeria has a challenge of identity management said Oyo is determined as a state to establish valid system to know who lives and where in the state.

While lauding his Special Assistant on ICT and e-governance, Bayo Akande Jnr and his team for showing commitment to the task, Governor Makinde urged the team to put in more effort to meet the target of the state on the residents registration.

In a remark, the Special Assistant to the Governor on ICT and e-governance, Bayo Akande Jnr, said aside providing adequate data for planning and budgeting, data gathered could assist in addressing challenges of insecurity.

The Special Assistant noted that an elaborate media campaign and sensitization would be employed by the team to increase awareness on the initiative.

He equally stressed that the registration exercise would cut across all local government areas in the state and various sectors.

Highlight of the flag off ceremony was the official registration of Governor Seyi Makinde as a resident of Oyo state.
