Library Genesis , often shortened to LibGen , is one of the longest-running shadow libraries online.

It provides free access to a vast collection of millions of books and academic papers that typically require payment.

Rightsholders have made several attempts to shut the site down in recent years .

Yesterday , a U.S. District Court Judge Colleen McMahon granted the default judgment without any changes.

The default judgment isn’t just a monetary win, on paper, it’s also one of the broadest anti-piracy injunctions we’ve seen from a U.S. court.

At the time of writing, all LibGen domains mentioned by the publishers remain online.
