Anna’s Archive has been getting hammered lately.

Over the past two weeks, multiple domains went down: first annas-archive.org was put on serverHold by the U.S. registry (usually happens after a court order, but they won’t say why), then the long-running .SE domain suddenly got clientHold by its registrar. No one is explaining what’s going on.

At the same time, a U.S. federal court just hit Anna’s Archive with a default judgment and permanent injunction after OCLC sued over scraped WorldCat data. The site didn’t respond to the lawsuit, so OCLC got an order banning Anna’s Archive (and anyone “working with” it) from scraping, hosting, or sharing WorldCat data and forcing deletion of all that data and related torrents.

There’s no fine, but the injunction gives OCLC ammo to pressure hosts, registrars, and other intermediaries to cut the site off. That likely means more takedowns and domain problems ahead.
