FYI, Wikipedia sidebar always has the latest URLs.
And half of them are blocked by German ISPs because of a coalition of people that decide what is and isn't allowed without any government supervision.
💯 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.
DEFINITELY due to the Spotify breach.
Honestly I'm surprised they kept their org domain this long
Nah. AA themselves say they don't think it is due to Spotify. And it would be too quick, they say they were kicked based on a legal request, hardly something you expect to be carried out in, what, two weeks at most?
Book publishers are unlikely to be any less ruthless than Spotify. Remember how they wanted to fuck over Internet Archive (and partly succeeded). This is more likely to be their doing.
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.
We need new internet.
I2P
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
If you need a quick heuristic "courts are the bad guys from Saturday morning cartoons". They are straight up the enemy of all things good.
Its not 100% correct, but you'll think about it 99% less and be right 98% as often
I don't get why they did the Spotify thing. It was obviously going to put a massive target on their back
It was very much complementary to their already existing archival goals.
I think they felt they had good enough opsec and went for it, which is really based IMO
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, annas-archive.se, annas-archive.pm, and annas-archive.in.
You're right, it was the .se one I used and I misremembered when writing my comment. Though this mistake highlights why adding sites like this to your bookmarks is important. Opportunistic scams are always common when a big domain goes down, and mistakes are easy to make
same, like they could've just used a different pseudonym?
Do they have an onion address?
Head for the SLUM! https://open-slum.org/
For me I can’t connect to it
It says it's under heavy load and to use https://open-slum.pages.dev/
Wow, they are really taking everything down.
No in this case it's called the hug of death.
Are these the same people that refused to suspend Kiwi Farms and 8chan?
The copyreich above all.
