Major Publishers Sue Anna’s Archive Over ‘Staggering’ Copyright Infringement, Seek Injunction

A coalition of thirteen major publishers, including Penguin Random House, Elsevier, and HarperCollins, filed a new lawsuit against Anna’s Archive. The publishers allege the shadow library is facilitating "staggering" levels of piracy. While the site's owners are not likely to put up a defense, the publishers' main goal appears to be to obtain an injunction that can apply further pressure on domain registrars and registries.
