Judge Colleen McMahon issued one of the broadest anti-piracy injunctions, siding with textbook publishers against Libgen, who ignored copyright complaints.
The court ordered Libgen to pay $30 million to rightsholders, but the anonymity of its admins raises doubts about the feasibility of compensation.
Publishers requested a sweeping injunction, prohibiting not just Libgen from sharing copyrighted content, but also anyone aiding or associating with it.
Libgen remains resilient, openly educating users on copyright issues while sustaining its operations, citing a lack of criminal penalties for users.
