tl;dr: Anna's Archive faced $341.5 million in default judgments this year from lawsuits by music companies and major book publishers, and lost multiple domains (.org, .se, .pm, .vg) via U.S. court injunctions. The site now operates on .gl, .pk, and .gd domains through registrars outside U.S. jurisdiction, and recently recovered from what operators call a "coordinated attack" on its infrastructure. The jurisdictional limits of U.S. courts are expected to fuel renewed rightsholder pushes for site-blocking legislation. | |
