In the Tor version of the application I have created a route where I display all the covers of the titles already republished.
Tactical Watermarks will exist alongside its use.  


The access through Tor protocol to Tactical Watermarks allows users to access the web application through a .onion top-level domain. The onion address establishes a higher level of protection to users of the platform. Releasing this version is also a generous act regarding all the intervinients that want to get involved with a higher standard of anonymity.
Not only I intend Tactical Watermarks to become a tool, in this route I wanted to create a stimulus where users can ask for titles they need. This feature increases the sociability within the web platform and also augments the sense of community and solidarity that exists in this online space. Requesting a new title is also an approach to populate Library Genesis with files that might be missing to other users of this shadow-library aswell.
 
I do not archive the republished titles, but it is important to document what was already republished in the form of a cover. Not only I can keep a record to the work that was already produced, but I can also keep track of all the watermarks appended to the texts. These watermarks contain and documents the motivations behind users of the platform, their stories and personal remarks.

STEPS

Asking for a new title is separated in 4 steps:

1. Checking if the file was already asked for
2. Filling the form with info from the title
3. Submiting the request
4. Displaying the request

WHY?

Tactical Watermarks will exist alongside its use.

Not only I intend Tactical Watermarks to become a tool, in this route I wanted to create a stimulus where users can ask for titles they need. This feature increases the sociability within the web platform and also augments the sense of community and solidarity that exists in this online space. Requesting a new title is also an approach to populate Library Genesis with files that might be missing to other users of this shadow-library aswell.
