The Wikipedia article on Z-Libraries suggests that the main domain is purposefully free of any pirated stuff. The article of the publishers is talking about the importance of also shutting down sites that link to the pirated sites. So it sounds as if only the sites with scholarly content are blocked in France, but not the main page.
The article “somehow” does not give much background information on what Z-Library offers. If you do not know the system, do have a look at Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-Library
IPFS has I think proven itself to be censorship resistant…
Is it just the domain names or they targeted their cloud providers as well?
In any case they should be using distributed protocols.
