@RealTadzioM Ist mir mal beim Bouldern passiert, dauerte 1 Monat. Man kann's nur "konservativ" behandeln, egal ob Prellung oder Bruch. Tags darauf war eine Party und es wurde sehr viel gelacht 😿🔥

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.

Thailand is one of the first ag countries to enter a planting season since the Iran war. We went to document the impact of supply shocks to fuel/fertilizer — It was worse than I anticipated.

Farmers are leaving huge tracts of land barren bc they can’t afford to plant.

New article @GeoOpenAccess

It interrogates the relationship between sacrifice areas, extractivism and (green) colonialism, pointing to the central role of the state.

Meine Einschätzung zu den geplanten Maßnahmen der Bundesregierung:

Die bislang angekündigten Entlastungsmaßnahmen der Bundesregierung bei den Energiepreisen greifen zu kurz und sind in Teilen sogar kontraproduktiv.

The Trans-Iranian Railway was registered as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2021

Attacking it is considered a war crime under the 1954 Hague Convention (Protection of Cultural Property in Time of Armed Conflict)

Guten Morgen. Genießt iranische traditionelle Musik.

Der iranische Musiker Ghamsari spielt vor einem Kraftwerk, zivile Infrastruktur, deren Zerstörung gedroht wird.

Er spielt Menschlichkeit, gegen Krieg, gegen Zerstörung, für das Leben.

Die iranischen Universitäten waren immer auch Orte des Widerstands. 2022 waren die Universitäten jene Plätze, von denen aus Protestmärsche geplant und koordiniert wurden.
Dass die USA und Israel jetzt gerade Universitäten angreifen, zeigt, dass es ihnen nur um Chaos geht.

The countries hardest hit by the energy crisis are low in income and high in import dependency for fossil fuels, for example Morocco and the Philippines. They have nothing to do with this illegal war, yet their economies and livelihoods are being destroyed.

🚨BREAKING: Because of the oil price crisis and the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, Austria has decided to open its only nuclear power plant in Zwentendorf on the Danube, which was completed in 1978 but never connected to the grid due to a negative referendum the same year. ⬇️

A world food crisis is coming as a consequence of the war on Iran. It’s not just about fertilizers and grains. Tomatoes and cucumbers are grown in greenhouses powered by gas. Gas is getting too expensive which means shortages are looming.
