    Remember to donate if you use and appreciate the archive. They're running reasonable risks to defy US copyright.

    Weird enough, they never asked Anthropic or Meta to do the same and restart the model training from scratch

      Because Anthropic and Meta had lawyers, and Anna's Archive didn't even show up, so worldcat go whatever it demanded.

    A US judge.. Oh no. Prepare for tarriffs and invasion Anna!

    It sounds like it's just metadata they scraped anyway?

    I'm glad Anna's Archive, like sci-hub before, is hosted in the free world (A.K.A. the former Eastern block) so it can escape copyreich oppression and allow us all to access human knowledge and culture.
