Z-library was not about freeing books, they where pirating for profit. The free account was limited in downloads and they had 2 tiers of premium accounts, don't remember the sums or details. They where profiting on the works of others too, they did not rip the books themselves or anything like that.
The free tier was something like 5 books per day and was throttled by ip.
How many books do you usually read per day that this argument holds any kind of meaning?
They throttled it, sure … but that wasn’t really a rate in which you’d run into unless you’re just downloading everything. Which you still could just by cycling your ip.
You also didn’t need an account unless you wanted to send the book directly to your Kindle. You’re all around just misinformed on the topic
