Anna's Archive Faces Millions in Damages and a Permanent InjunctionErnesto Van der Sar, 08 Jul 12:20 PM Anna's Archive is a meta-search engine for s
 | Anna's Archive is a meta-search engine for shadow libraries that allows users to find pirated books and other related sources. The site launched in the fall of 2022, just days after Z-Library was targeted in a U.S. criminal crackdown, to ensure continued availability of 'free' books and articles to the broader public. Late last year, Anna's Archive expanded its offering by making information from OCLC's proprietary WorldCat database available online. The site's operators took more than a year to scrape several terabytes of data and published roughly 700 million unique records online, for free. This 'metadata' heist was a massive breakthrough in the site's quest to archive as much published content as possible. However, OCLC wasn't pleased and responded with a lawsuit at an Ohio federal court, accusing the site and its operators of hacking and demanding damages.

At least until the realization that was around sixteen years ago when the internet wasn't facing a serious threat of censorship and regulation. So much has changed since then it would be difficult to recapture the essence of those stories today. However, the Web Sheriff's plan to board and then scuttle The Pirate Bay stands out as a watershed moment in the development of alternate realities in the anti-piracy space. Planned in absolute secrecy apart from a few press releases, it involved the formation of an elite unit to take down The Pirate Bay, once and for all. Led by a Sheriff, the team consisted of a construction worker, a cowboy, an intimidating fellow dressed head to foot in black leather, a policeman, a gentleman resplendent in full Indian regalia, and a lone GI bravely bringing up the rear.
