The world largest scientific e-book site library.nu is closed today,

warning that:

Library.nu is offline today (joining large sites such as Google and Wikipedia), because the US Senate is considering legislation that would certainly kill us (and most of the internet) forever.
The legislation is called the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA), and would put us in legal jeopardy if we linked to a site anywhere online that had any links to copyright infringement.
This would unmake the Web, just as proposed in the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). We don't want that world.
If you don't want it either, visit AmericanCensorship.org for instructions on contacting your Senator. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has more information on this and other issues central to your freedom online.
 
I really thank library.nu for their pirated books. Choosing a good book in a particular field is almost impossible without viewing a large amount of books in that field first. Only after reading many books can I buy one truly excellent one.
