I don’t know, do you think nobody has noticed LibGen by now? Do you think the reason they’re still running is because of some jurisdiction issue? Even the lawyers would be wrong on that one.

I'm not sure about the implication of your words. But, clearly, Elsevier has already tried to take legal actions against LibGen previously, and once in a while, LibGen's domain names are still being blocked and routinely replaced, just like Sci-Hub. I'd still say the reason it's still running is a jurisdiction issue, or let's say it's a geopolitical issue, it's using Russia to shield itself away from US influences.

But an IPFS gateway hosted in the United States by Cloudflare does not enjoy these legal and political benefits.
