Other people invade other countries and not get punished, but people caring to make knowledge more available (especially to not rich people) get punished.
I know that’s the system working as expected, but ughh
We need new internet.

DEFINITELY due to the Spotify breach.
Honestly I’m surprised they kept their org domain this long
Given how things work, they should have created another “brand” just for the spotify breach (e.g. Audio Hub). Annas Archive was just going so well…
Anna’s Audio was right there, man.
FYI, Wikipedia sidebar always has the latest URLs.
💯 and their FAQ also mentions 3 other information channels:
- https://matrix.to/#/#annas:archivecommunication.org (matrix)
- https://www.reddit.com/r/Annas_Archive (reddit)
- https://t.me/+D0zemuNzEdgyOGVk (telegram)
Telegram is very diligent with deleting piracy channels, I’d say it’s so unreliable as not to be worth the effort of setting up.
I don’t get why they did the Spotify thing. It was obviously going to put a massive target on their back
They already had a big target on their back. Sure, scraping Spotify made that larger, but given that their aims are explicitly political, I think there’s a lot of value in not being overly cautious and using takedowns as a way to bolster the resiliency of your service.
Domain takedowns are inevitable, even if they’d just continued with their existing archival efforts. That’s why, when I found I wasn’t able to access the .org domain over the weekend, I just went to https://annas-archive.se/ instead.
Edit: wrote one of the old domains (.gs) because I just use what’s bookmarked and got mixed up. It was .se that I used
.gs is not one of the currently listed domains. Are you sure that’s a real one?
That’s the old one they temporarily switched to that got taken down; the current options are annas-archive.li and annas-archive.pm.
Edit: annas-archive.se and annas-archive.in no longer work.
