Not going to claim anything regarding Anna’s Archive’s legitimacy, but what do libraries look like in the future? We’re just going to give up and say, first sale was great while we had it, but digital makes it obsolete? When you die, screw donating your collection of “licenses” to somewhere productive; those contracts died with you? Everything is streaming, so you never purchased anything anyway? It’s crazy to me tha…

This right here is why I either (1) still buy physical media [my preference], or (2) make sure all digital media I purchased is DRM free. With my physical media, I digitize it, then store the media for any future use.

We need to create libraries like Anna's Archive that are impossible to take down.

Something like content addressed storage spread across many shards running locally that are linked together over Tor.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You as a business are free to not to business with Europeans.

Why can't euros do as they want instead of as they're told?

There are only three primary global empires right now: Russia, China, and Pax Judaica (Israel and its vassal state, the USA). Europe does not fall under the influence of Russia or China to the same degree as the third one. The EU is a rudderless ship due to weak leadership and energy starvation.

I pirate everything. I pay nothing. I have both DRM free and cost free. This is the best of both worlds.

Justice should not depend on whether the aggrieved appears in court. That's a structural weakness of US law.

is there a country where if you don't show up to court you don't lose by default?

Exactly, how can you credibly mount a defence if you're unwilling to appear? Your defence is that, yours.

Why LLM companies that depended on Anna's archive end up so clean ? Looks like Anna's archive was doing the dirty work, and the LLM companies were reaping the profits (and ironically still do, as they hold the largest databases of pirated content in the world). Is it because the law doesn't apply to you when you have 1B USD ?

Distribution. Anna's archive actively distributes the pirated material. LLM companies don't.

Since when does a judge in NY get to tell Greenland they can't have their registrar sell to Anna's Archive?

ICANN is a US-registered company. National registrars are in a relationship with ICANN. Ultimately, if you dig deep enough, the Internet's trust layer is US-owned infrastructure.
