Anna’s Archive Loses .Org Domain After Surprise Suspension
https://torrentfreak.com/annas-archive-loses-org-domain-after-surprise-suspension/
Anna’s Archive just lost its .org domain—again—and honestly, it’s starting to feel like a digital game of whack-a-mole with copyright lawyers.
The shadow library, which lets users access millions of pirated books (and yes, that 300TB Spotify backup everyone’s buzzing about), got its main domain suspended overnight. .org domains? Usually sacred ground for nonprofits. But when rightsholders come knocking with a court order? Even PIR, the registry that once defended The Pirate Bay, bends. No official statement yet—but suspicion is high that Spotify’s unlicensed archive triggered the move.
But Anna’s Archive? Not fazed. They’ve done this before. After losing .org to a WorldCat lawsuit, they hopped to .gs—only for that domain to get yanked too. Back they came. Now? They’re already live on .li, .se, .in, and .pm. “This happens regularly,” they shrug on Reddit, like it’s just a bad Wi-Fi day.
The real story here isn’t the domain loss—it’s the resilience. Every time they’re knocked offline, they rebuild faster, smarter, and with more absurdly large backups. The music industry might think they’re fighting piracy. Anna’s Archive? They’re building a digital Library of Alexandria… one unlicensed MP3 at a time.
