The creator of the famous pirate Internet library “Flibusta”, who was recently diagnosed with a serious illness, announced that the site will continue to operate.

Earlier, the site administrator Stiver posted an announcement in which he said that he was “in hospital with an indecent-sized glioblastoma.” “Unfortunately, Flibusta seems to have ended here, as did I. Thanks everyone, it was fun. The servers are paid for for a few more weeks,” he wrote.

However, the post was edited on October 19 to include new information. “The servers are paid for, the site is supported, and we are working in a stable mode,” the updated post on the site’s blog reads.

"I thank Stiver that even in such a life situation he found a way to continue supporting Flibusta. A real hero and an important person in the history of RuNet," the news was commented on in the Telegram channel "Zucchini Caviar on Sale".

The non-profit online library Flibusta was founded in 2009. The site offered electronic versions of books in Russian and foreign languages ​​for free, which often led to conflicts with large publishing houses that held the rights, such as Eksmo.

In June 2015, access to the resource was blocked by Roskomnadzor as an interim measure in a lawsuit filed by Eksmo — the publisher filed a lawsuit due to the publication of Ray Bradbury's works Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, The Golden Apples of the Sun, and Dandelion Wine on the site. In 2016, the Moscow City Court imposed a permanent block on the resource due to copyright infringement. Despite this, the project's audience continued to grow.
