You might have to switch your DNS to one that doesn't block based on copyright
(e.g. Cloudflare: 1.1.1.1)
Actually i think the effort they are making is cool. It goes well beyond piracy and I think is a good idea esp in face of the world rn.
I agree. I remember recently their blog had a post about how shadow libraries are more important now than they've ever been, and it made a compelling case. I started reading that piece expecting some thin justification about breaking the law (like a guy I knew who argued that it was ethical for him to deal drugs because the stuff he sold was super pure so it was basically harm reduction. It's not that I disagreed with that point per se, but rather that I knew it was just bullshit he told himself so he felt ethically okay doing the only job that was viable for him). In the case of Anna's Archive though, I was quite quickly won over by their arguments about the societal importance of the service (I was already won over on the individual benefit side of things)
Thanks for letting the work know of another really bad site to totally avoid 😉
It's an especially bad site because it also has links to other external naughty services, like Z-library.
Fuck, which DNS blocks pirate sites? I've never heard of this before.
