Is anyone plugged in to what exactly is going on with Anna’s Archive?

A month or so ago, I had a good laugh at their kettleblack opus of litigation.

🔗 4️⃣ 👉 💭 , friend:
https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/files/2026/01/Annas-Archive.pdf

It alleges in its opening salvo that the action is a response to "…the brazen theft of millions of files containing nearly all of the world’s commercial sound recordings by a group of anonymous Internet pirates with no
regard for the law". It alleges they are stealing and profiting from metadata … oh boy, pic related. Look in the mirror ye mighty and despair! (Fellow residents of Merveilles, fear not! you know any time you come to this wonderful hamlet, you won’t see any items being added to that privacy report! Just another reason that MTown is the happiest hood on hEarth…!)

There is so much to marvel at in this 26 page kettleblack opus, but I gotta say, the capitalization of "Internet" is quite amusing. This isn’t Deutschland, und unser nouns are nicht required to be großgeschrieben. (German cleaning lady is off duty and I haven’t spoken it in 20 years…) But, here’s what I always say!

Größere Wörter, größere Probleme, meine Internetenhausekindern!

(Note: Always may actually mean “never” in some contexts. Sue me.)

I last visited one of the mirrors (.li) 7 days ago but … it seems the mighty musical mire of make-believe moguls who “live” in Delaware have all successfully taken down them all - at least as far as I can tell!

Here’s my go to source for academic archives and their server’s status:

My duckduckgo’s have returned nothing in the way of info - so if anyone is aware of if the group has a contribution page / chat or channel of some kind - I wanna know it, as AA and other sites that carry on holding the doors to academia open for the rest of us, need to be encouraged to continue.

Suing them just has made me go from an agreement of moral alignment to actively looking to fund the public release of “paywalled knowledge”.
