If you have a problem with storing illegal books in your "banned book library", you may be working on the wrong project.

As it stands it is a great example for others to learn from. If you include copyrighted books it’ll get pulled from GitHub and no one will learn from it.

You'd think this would be obvious.

And how does that differ from including banned books?

It doesn’t? I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make.

This is not a database of banned books. It is an example showing how you can make a database of banned books of your own.

github nor the government github is subject to cares about those books, for either political or copyright reasons, that's how. Are there any other silly questions?

This is a perfectly sensible set of sample and example books. The project is the book distribution system, not the books themselves.

You load yours up with whatever you think is important or whatever you are willing to risk.
