Zlib事件 "责任全在TikTok"后续。
10月8日，美国作协(Authors Guild)向美国贸易代表办公室发了信，对Libgen和Z-Library召唤铁拳。文件可以在政府网站下载 https://www.regulations.gov/comment/USTR-2022-0010-0024
其中一位名叫 Sarina Bowen 的作者说：
\> “Z-Library在断我们生路。一本早晨才出的书中午时间就上了Z-library，我所有的书都在上面了 ... 伤害我们的不仅是这个网站，还有这个网站持续出现在Tiktok视频上这件事。”
"a group of romance writers"说
\> “... Zlibrary多年来一直是个麻烦，之所以2021年尤为糟糕，是因为TikTok在其中煽风点火。每个月我们都看到新的TikTok视频说: “Never pay for another book! Find them here on Zlibrary.”浏览量数十万。过去我们至少可以让Google撤下搜索词条 ... 当TikTok变成Zlibrary的免费宣传版时，我们彻底没办法了 ... Zlibrary可能真的会让我们崩溃。”
从GoodReads资料来看，作者Sarina Bowen主要写言情小说和YA，这两类书籍也是一般TikTok用户会关注的图书类别 (你不会觉得搞学术的会从短视频网站找资源吧)。她的书多数是self-publishing，不存在那些反版权人士所谓拿走了多数利益的"资本""大出版商"的介入。
不幸被迪友挂出来嘲讽的也正是她，"没人想买她的蠢书，她认为都是Zlib的错"

这个发展就挺符合我先前的猜想，就是盗版书对大出版商的利益损害其实小于对个体作者的损害。
其他作者附言
“On the very morning that it was published, a copy of the book was posted for free on Library Genesis. Many of my students that day congratulated me on publication and informed me, as if proudly, that they had already downloaded it, as they do most of their books, from Library Genesis. The site now has at least 90 versions of all of my books, in multiple languages, available for free on its site.”

“If you search for my name on Libgen, you get 1,377 results distributed over 56 pages. That is 1,377 pirate copies of virtually all of my books in multiple languages and file formats.”
- Douglas Preston, Authors Guild President

他写的书好像还挺多的,加上有些时候一个title可能有好几份文档
@acme 不对，我讲错了，现在用tor访问zlibrary搜索作者名字的话最多只显示到500+结果，10页，实际结果数目可能远多于这个，想看到更多结果就要捐赠了。他竟然还给zlibrary捐赠了，我哭死
@admin 可他说的是libgen
@acme 我看错了！libgen上有1500+结果，比他讲的还多，确实很惊人。
@acme 1377个结果是真实存在的还是加上各种模糊搜索，JK罗琳也就五百多结果啊
