Telegram is very diligent with deleting piracy channels, I'd say it's so unreliable as not to be worth the effort of setting up.

And half of them are blocked by German ISPs because of a coalition of people that decide what is and isn't allowed without any government supervision.

Other people invade other countries and not get punished, but people caring to make knowledge more available (especially to not rich people) get punished.

I know that's the system working as expected, but ughh

If you need a quick heuristic "courts are the bad guys from Saturday morning cartoons". They are straight up the enemy of all things good.

Its not 100% correct, but you'll think about it 99% less and be right 98% as often

I don't get why they did the Spotify thing. It was obviously going to put a massive target on their back

[-] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 94 points 1 month ago

It was very much complementary to their already existing archival goals.

I think they felt they had good enough opsec and went for it, which is really based IMO

They already had a big target on their back. Sure, scraping Spotify made that larger, but given that their aims are explicitly political, I think there's a lot of value in not being overly cautious and using takedowns as a way to bolster the resiliency of your service.

Domain takedowns are inevitable, even if they'd just continued with their existing archival efforts. That's why, when I found I wasn't able to access the .org domain over the weekend, I just went to https://annas-archive.se/ instead.

Edit: wrote one of the old domains (.gs) because I just use what's bookmarked and got mixed up. It was .se that I used

[-] hobovision@mander.xyz 6 points 1 month ago

.gs is not one of the currently listed domains. Are you sure that's a real one?

[-] Zedstrian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

That's the old one they temporarily switched to that got taken down; the current options are annas-archive.li and annas-archive.gl.

Edit: annas-archive.se, annas-archive.in, and annas-archive.pm also no longer work.

[-] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 month ago

You're right, it was the .se one I used and I misremembered when writing my comment. Though this mistake highlights why adding sites like this to your bookmarks is important. Opportunistic scams are always common when a big domain goes down, and mistakes are easy to make

same, like they could've just used a different pseudonym?

[-] comrade_twisty@feddit.org 54 points 1 month ago

Do they have an onion address?

For me I can’t connect to it

Wow, they are really taking everything down.

[-] southernwolf@pawb.social 9 points 1 month ago

No in this case it's called the hug of death.

[-] Kirk@startrek.website 37 points 1 month ago

Are these the same people that refused to suspend Kiwi Farms and 8chan?

[-] vorpuni@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 30 points 1 month ago

The copyreich above all.

[-] LiamTheBox@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 month ago

For context, thepiratebay.org still works, which is crazy.

[-] Avenging5@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

just host it on tor?
