The US government doesn't comply with it's own rulings. Why would anyone else?

WorldCat.org is provided by OCLC, a nonprofit global library organization that provides shared technology services, original research, and community programs so libraries can better fuel learning, research, and innovation.
In what way does anna's archive work contrary to their mission?
It doesn't. It does their mission better than they ever could. They provide no value beyond the database that is being shared for free by anna's. There must be some salaries or some soft power being wielded somewhere by someone who doesn't want that to go away.

They should train some ai on that scraped data. Just training.
Now, if anyone is going to enforce this judgement, Anna’s Archive should sue because “other ai companies” are apparently allowed to steal.

Hey judge, order AI companies to delete THEIR illegally-scraped data.

Defendant crashed its website, slowed it, and damaged the servers, and Defendant admitted to the same by way of default,” the ruling said.
OK, so if I set up a lawsuit against OCLC in my country where they don’t reside, and they fail to show up to contest the charges, I get to claim they admitted guilt by default?
Also, since the claim is they used bots that behaved like legitimate search engine bots, are they also suing Google?
I can see why they might not want AA putting undue stress on their servers, but that doesn’t seem to be what they’re suing over.

Eh, their crawler is now "AI", so it's fine.
Anna’s Archive’s data is on IPFS, so effectively it’s pretty hard to remove the data from the nets. Good luck to the establishment though!
Just say it is for Ai training then it will be ok.
The court order, which was previously reported by TorrentFreak, was issued by Judge Michael Watson in US District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. “Plaintiff has established that Defendant crashed its website, slowed it, and damaged the servers, and Defendant admitted to the same by way of default,” the ruling said.
US court. Where is Anna's Archive located?
Because with the state of America right now, every country should be giving the US Courts the finger. We're pretty much a rogue nation now.
Jokes on them, tiktok killed my attention span and I can't read ebooks anymore

It makes me extremely happy to know that some dumbass went and begged in front of a judge for a couple hours, insisting that the defendant violated their copyright bullshit, and meanwhile there just.... isnt a defendant. Its like when that one guy successfully sued God, and the judge told him that in order to collect his earnings he would have to give the court Gods mailing address.
