    Is hosting all that stuff even legal? I mean, they’re not making any money off of it, but they’re still a “piracy” hub. How have they survived this long?

      It’s very illegal. iirc it was created by a group called “Pirate Library Mirror” after the guy that runs z-library got arrested, so I assume they’re taking anonymity seriously to avoid arrest.

      No, it’s not.

      They’ve survived by making themselves hard to identify and shut down. And as we can see here, by creating redundancies.
