Will I be tracked down for uploading? There was this one book which I searched far and wide and managed to procure from a friend of mine in a prestigious university. After hours of battle with DRM, I managed to get the book I wanted. My instinctive reaction was to upload it to libgen so that others looking for this need not go through what I went through.

But once it had been uploaded, I have this fear that I might be tracked down or worse my friend. I uploaded it from my Institute's network and had no Tor or any VPN protection on (yes, I know this sounds bad. I didn't think it through).

Is it possible to for 'them' to track down the uploader?
