@hasanthehun Never forget, Israel arrested the leaker that had video evidence that IDF terrorists were gang raping Palestinian hostages.

Not the rapists, the leaker

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

The Nakba never ended. The Israeli apartheid regime is still committing genocide in Gaza and violently erasing entire communities across Palestine and Lebanon. I'm leading a resolution to recognize the 78th anniversary of Nakba and reaffirm Palestinian refugees' right of return.

The largest open library in human history, Anna's Archive, has been ordered to pay Spotify and the three largest record labels on the world $322 million.

The defendant has not appeared in court and is not going to. The site is still up with two backup domains standing by and there's nothing the censors can do.

Anna's Archive currently holds 63 million books, 95 million academic papers, and 1.1 petabytes of mirrored torrents. It is free. It is searchable. It is run by a pseudonymous person nobody has identified after four long years of searching.

In the four months since the music industry filed the first of three coordinated lawsuits, the library has lost six domain names and added two million books to the catalogue. The cartel is suing it faster every month, and it is growing faster every month.

In December, Spotify and the major labels filed. In January, OCLC, the company that runs WorldCat, won a default judgment of its own. On March 6th, thirteen of the largest book publishers in the United States, including HarperCollins, Penguin Random House, Simon and Schuster, Macmillan, Hachette, Elsevier, Wiley, and McGraw Hill, filed a third lawsuit in the same federal court.

The publishers' complaint runs to seventy-four pages. They call Anna's Archive a "brazen pirate operation." They call it "an illegal supplier of stolen content to the AI industry."

The same publishers are simultaneously suing Anthropic, Meta, OpenAI, and NVIDIA for training their models on the same corpus the publishers want Anna to destroy. The cartel argues, in two parallel federal courts, that the corpus cannot be used by anyone. Not the pirate who built it. Not the AI company that downloaded from it. Not the graduate student who pulls a paywalled paper from it at two in the morning.

Anna did not respond to any of the three complaints. Anna has never responded to any complaint. Anna is a name on a blog and a public key on a server and a person, or maybe several people, in a jurisdiction nobody has identified after four years of searching.

The judgment is uncollectable. The permanent injunction binds Cloudflare, Public Interest Registry, Njalla, the Switch Foundation, Tucows, and nine other named intermediaries. The Greenland registry is not on the list. The Greenland registry has not complied.

The site currently lives at .gl, with .pk and .gd standing by. The corpus has always moved faster than the censor. The censor has always called the corpus piracy. The corpus has always survived the censor by becoming the readers themselves.

The publishers' lawsuit cannot reach the torrents. The torrents are already seeded across continents and IPFS nodes and personal NAS drives owned by people the publishers will never find. The default judgment is paper. The corpus is everywhere.

The cartel will win every lawsuit but they will lose the war. The publisher who walks into court next month with a fresh filing will be filing against a defendant who has, in the time since the last filing was sealed, mirrored another half million books to another seven hundred volunteers in another forty countries.

There is no defendant to find. There is only the next upload. It is already seeding.

@NickKristof @infinite_jaz While the sexual abuse of Palestinians by Israelis is well evidenced and documented, the claims of Palestinian abuse of Israeli hostages (POWs) has proven to be propaganda. As always, the accusations of the Jewish supremacists are their confessions.

[Heidi N. Moore @moorehn]

@NickKristof Just as a note, the Oct 7 rape claims you treat as credible have no evidence and the people who made them withdrew them. Please append a correction.

@guanchewarrior @NickKristof No, opposing rape, child abuse, murder or any sexual violence isn't antisemitic. Antisemitism is hatred or prejudice against Jews as a people. Condemning crimes by any individuals or authorities is a basic human stance that should apply equally, regardless of the conflict.

This has been going on for 80 years, and heavily documented. The NYTimes finally scraped together enough integrity to publish something.

Every social media platform has the same rule.

You can upload anything. You cannot download anything.

Your video? Their server. Your photo? Their server. Your audio? Their server.

You made it. They own the link.

Try to download your own TikTok. Watermark.
Try to download a YouTube video offline. Pay $15.99/month.
Try to save a Twitter video. Right-click does nothing.
Try to download your own Instagram reel. No button.

A developer looked at this and said no.

One input field. Paste a link. Get the file. Move on.

No ads. No trackers. No paywall. No account. No watermark.

It's called Cobalt. 35,000+ stars on GitHub.

→ YouTube. Up to 8K. Any format.
→ TikTok. Without the watermark.
→ Instagram. Reels, posts, stories.
→ Twitter/X. Videos and GIFs.
→ Reddit. Videos with audio merged.
→ SoundCloud. Full tracks.
→ 20+ platforms total.
→ Audio-only mode. Extract MP3 from any video.
→ On-device processing. Files never touch their server.
→ Self-host with Docker.

Here's the wildest part:

Every "free video downloader" site you have ever used is covered in ads. Popup ads. Fake download buttons. Malware bundled into the download.

Cobalt has zero ads. Zero trackers. Zero analytics. The developer refuses to monetize it.

One input field. One button. The file appears on your device.

35,000+ stars. AGPL-3.0. Free forever.

But DO NOT use Cobalt.

We should all keep watching ads and adding watermarks.

100% Open Source.
