American nonprofit OCLC sued Anna's Archive last year for alleged hacking and unauthorized publishing of its WorldCat database. The sole named defendant in the case, an archivist from the Seattle area, denied any involvement with the site. After the court referred several scraping-related questions to the state Supreme Court, OCLC has now agreed to drop the alleged operator from the lawsuit.

Why? Did Anna's Archive start an AI division so everything is now legal?

I wish they did. I can't believe non-profits are suing each other.

This is scary stuff. Anna's Archive is one of my fav places.
