The publishers allege the shadow library is facilitating "staggering" levels of piracy. While the site's owners are not likely to put up a defense, the publishers' main goal appears to be to obtain an injunction that can apply further pressure on domain registrars and registries.

Cool. Now that the Tech companies have pilfered it they're going to shut it down. There are a ton of books on there that aren't even worth money anymore. They're out of print or 1-2 editions behind the scholarly current.

This is just bullshit

I got access to a bunch of pay-walled scholarly papers on Anna's

If you're concerned about the site shutting down, seed some of their torrents from their site so that it's easier to re-launch it if it happens
