The popular shadow library Anna's Archive has lost yet another domain name. The site's .pm domain was taken offline after international pressure on intermediaries continued to mount. That initially left the .li domain as the only option, but a Greenland-based backup was swiftly added.

Reminds me of how a bunch of people lost their .af domain names when the Taliban took back over Afghanistan.

These sites are losing domain names left and right at the moment. The fucking copyright mafia is spending a lot of effort at the moment.

We really need to invent an independent domain name system. Interesting how many already exist but just nobody cares about...

Domain names are a fucking racket.

It's interesting that they'd offer top-level domains, but not provide a certificate authority to generate (non-self-signed) ssl certs.
