In September, the founder of the online library announced the closure of the project due to health problems. “I am in a hospital with indecent globor sizes. Unfortunately, “Flibusta” apparently ended on this, like myself. Thank you all, it was fun. The servers were paid for a few more weeks, ”he wrote then.
Laterit became known that despite this, “Flibusta” will continue to work. “The servers are paid, the site is supported, we are working in a stable mode,” the uptime said to the post on the closure of the online library.
“Flibusta” opened in 2009 - on the project’s website you can download and read e -books for free. The project is based on the idea of free access to information. In Russia, the library website was blocked in 2015 due to the court decision on the claim of the Eksmo Publishing House, whose books were posted on Flibuste. A year later, the Moscow City Court decided on the eternal blocking of the online library.
