- High-profile publishers obtained a default judgment against Anna's Archive, citing piracy and AI training data distribution.
- The judgment includes $19.5 million in damages and a technical injunction targeting domains and hosting providers.
- Anna's Archive operators are ordered to unmask within 10 days but are expected to ignore due to anonymity.
- The injunction names over twenty intermediaries, including Cloudflare and foreign registries, to disable access.
- Foreign intermediaries' compliance is uncertain; the site's domains remain active despite the court order.
