ive made nothing from the advertisement on the home page - instead we were donated a server by snowcore to act as our proxy and caching server. No monetary gain has come from the advertisement and the storage server is paid out of pocket since we havent gotten much donations yet

our whole model is to be easily self hostable and open source - just like movie-web (who had devs openly showing their names and faces ect in their github profiles) as for my bad opsec im just a hobbyist developer who is contributing to an open source project for fun - nothing else can be proven

Bookracy doesn’t exploit the copyrighted material for financial gain, unlike typical piracy websites that might sell access to pirated content or host popup / redirect ads for profit And for the part of me commiting a crime its always innocent until proven guilty - if it can be proven im storing the books fair play but weve taken precautions against that paying through crypto bulletproof servers ect
