Lossless pirate archives also still exist if you know where to look. Not saying you're wrong, but from a truly material angle, someone dedicated to finding an archive with enough music to start a pirate site need only join one of the existing lossless pirate sites and copy theirs. I don't see how Anna's making it easier negates the fact that it can already be done




I dont think the idea that it can be already done matters though. You just have to show harm or intent to harm, and the archive had it.

Selective prosecution isn't a strong defense in civil court.

For a normal case, maybe. for a TRO, it does matter. And they got a TRO the same day they asked on Jan 2nd. That's an oddly concerning move.

I think it is pretty standard if the other party doesnt show up in court. Did they?

Oh yeah i figure the courts have all sorts of ways of fucking over whoever they please. I just mean logically - they haven't enabled anything that could'nt already be done, not really
