#4I'm glad Anna's Archive, like sci-hub before, is hosted in the free world (A.K.A. the former Eastern block) so it can escape copyreich oppression and allow us all to access human knowledge and culture.

[2] In the very practical sense that certain texts end up lost because they're copyrighted but no one re-publishes them on time, so few or no copies remain in practice.
