The Internet is fraught with unprecedented opportunities, everyone uses it for their own purposes. Some listen to music, others watch movies, chat with friends or study, many read.
Now you can conveniently and profitably read books, because there are many electronic libraries that make material available to the public for free. One of the largest and most popular libraries is LitMir. It contains unique content, it won many hearts. But for some time now, for some reason, LitMir has not been working, which raises many questions.
The World of "LitMir"
User-friendly interface, the ability to add books, write reviews, chat on the forum and create your own reading list - all this attracts thousands of readers and writers. The LitMir library is not only a good site with a large database of books that you can read for free, but also your own world with heroes and losers, with permanent residents and those who appear there from time to time.
That's why many began to ask the same question: "Why doesn't the LitMir library work?"The day when a message about repair work was displayed on the site became sad for many. Why? Because they lost not only a good book site, but also a family.
Court decision
It is known that the Russian Federation is actively fighting against piracy on the Internet. Libraries have been sued. The site was sued by the Eksmo publishing house and the LitRes website, accused of violating copyright law. Therefore, LitMir does not work. The e-library was under "repair" during the trials.
As a result, the owner of the site, Stepan Yentsov, was given 2 years of probation, while the project was taken over by other people. The maximum fine and punishment under this article is 500 thousand rubles and 6 years in prison, the agreement to the deal helped to alleviate the situation.
The site was closed due to the fact that books were posted on it, which, at the request of the copyright holders, should have been withdrawn from public access.
Publishing houses live off book sales, writers get roy alties for their work, and free digital versions deprive people of their earnings. During the investigation, it was found that the LitMir website received an income of 1 million rubles every month with a traffic of 14 million per month.
LitMir now
Now the question of why "LitMir" does not work is no longer relevant. The site has changed a lot and is back up and running. It just isn't as popular anymore. The resource has a new owner and administration. Condition for mitigationThe punishment was to pay a fine and hand over the site for its further destruction. But the new owners changed their minds and decided to leave the site.
Now there are no problems with the fact that LitMir does not work, new books that are added to it can be read, but for a fee. A significant part of the old database was also made paid. The new owners reasoned: why delete everyone's favorite site if you can make money on it?
LitMir doesn't work? No problem
Fans of "LitMir" can return to their favorite resource again. The fact is that the administration of the old library and the owner got down to business and quickly created a new site called "LitLife". This resource recreated the appearance of the old library, there is all the information, reviews, literature, forums. About 99% of the information has been restored, so fans can continue to enjoy the convenient and affordable service they once got used to.
Now the project functions in the format of a kind of literary club.
So, whether LitMir is working now or not, regular visitors to the old site no longer care.
