    why must every good site draw attention to themselves like this? Make alternative site for music if you must make such a spectacle out of it, so when the hammer falls it doesnt take out the books too. Or at least have some kind of plan on how to survive it, which i really hope they do.

      The content is distributed across numerous torrents. It’s decentralized. Also there’s a reason pirate bay is still up, while the other centralized players aren’t… . design distributed systems that aren’t vulnerable to easy take downs.

      Speed, security or cost, pick two.

        yes, but what about annas archive itself? Decentralization is good and resilient, but the authoritans will attack the website and its maintainers directly. Maybe they will try blocking it, or demonize it and its users or maybe they will even start uploading malware there to make it worse to use. In general, as long as things stay out of general public’s view they are somewhat safe, but I bet this will have at least some news organizations mention it.

        Each day we have less and less rights and protections so we(as in the piracy community in general) have to make sure we will survive despite of that. Not just for ourselves but to preserve things for everyone.
