There is illegal stuff in there, because some of the books they've swept up into the archive have been retconned to be illegal. A lot of obscene material wasn't illegal until into the 80s, and these shadow libraries are scooping up everything without checking. I don't know what they do if you report it to them.
For instance, there are issues of multiple issues of Playboy with underage models. All the archives of British tabloid newspapers had to be purged in 2003 after the laws changed there, etc.
I'm still not sure the question makes much sense, if it's a general: "I want to support the project and so I want to seed a large chunk" Okay, I guess it's your due diligence to check, but there is a reporting feature built in, if something is found, report it.
Aside from that, if you're searching for specific content, the question is moot I guess.
I guess my confusion is what distinguishes this apart from any other torrent ? That is, if the submitted content is submitted at all.
I understood it as he or she wants to download large chunks of potentially interesting books for offline use, or once Anna goes down. So a broad filter. Not for seeding.
But thanks for the explanation that there is a report build in.
He said he wants to download lots of it in general, not specifical. Legit question, if you end up with dark material.
I would assume pedo stuff is not really there, but the anarchist cookbook and alike likely will be.
Considering the anarchist cookbook is just a rebranded selection of freely-available US Army Field Manuals, ... I don't see the problem.
I don't either, but many states have laws regarding books on how to build bombs and they might get enforced more than copyright.

>I would assume pedo stuff is not really there
Search for "lolicon"
Well, I won't. But does it contain just text or real pictures? That would make a big legal difference I assume.
