Anna's Archive Loses .PM Domain, Adds Greenland (.GL) Backup

https://torrentfreak.com/annas-archive-loses-pm-domain-adds-greenland-gl-backup/

The popular shadow library Anna's Archive has lost yet another domain name. The site's .pm domain was taken offline after international pressure on intermediaries continued to mount. That initially left the .li domain as the only option, but a Greenland-based backup was swiftly added.

These sites are losing domain names left and right at the moment. The fucking copyright mafia is spending a lot of effort at the moment.

The rich figured out that letting the plebes access the Internet was a mistake, and they are trying to take it back every way they possibly can.

Do they have an onion site? Feel like the clearnet isn't vibing rn

I was using the library of trantor's .onion for a long time. I would love an Annas .onion.

Saint Pierre et Miquelon is a French territory next to Canada. No wonder they took it down so easely!

We really need to invent an independent domain name system. Interesting how many already exist but just nobody cares about...

It's interesting that they'd offer top-level domains, but not provide a certificate authority to generate (non-self-signed) ssl certs.

Seems they’re working on that https://wiki.opennic.org/opennic/tls

Reminds me of how a bunch of people lost their .af domain names when the Taliban took back over Afghanistan.

I wonder how much of that could be mitigated if the ebooks were made officially DRM-free, or if people would be willing to buy but resort to illegal means because they don't want people owning stuff...

i'm guessing ipfs is not an option.
