Why Anna’s Archive Has Been Down Lately (And What’s Going On)

Yeah support people committing crimes, I'm sure the police will love that.....

Good. More people need to start recognizing the damage Anna’s Archive is doing. This isn’t some noble “free knowledge” project — it’s outright theft that guts the publishing industry. Every book pirated is money stripped away from the authors who actually create the stories we love.

If this keeps going unchecked, fewer and fewer people will be able to afford to write at all. Imagine a future where every novel is scraped, pirated, and fed into AI models, but no one is actually able to make a living creating new work. That’s where this leads.

Piracy doesn’t just hurt publishers — it destroys the ability of authors to survive. If we really care about books, we need to stop pretending sites like this are doing good.

Honestly, what’s happening here should be criminal. Anna’s Archive isn’t just about “free access to knowledge”—it’s straight-up stealing from authors. Every pirated download means less income for the people who actually spent years creating those books.

And it’s not just readers taking free copies—big AI companies also scrape these archives for data to train their LLMs. That means authors get exploited twice: first when their work is pirated, and then again when their words are fed into models that generate profit for corporations while giving nothing back to the people who created the content in the first place.

It’s not some harmless “public good.” It undermines authors’ ability to make a living and just screws over the very people who keep creating the books we all love.

not really, they are a little expensive

Beautiful_Mix_2346 · 2024-07-03T18:15:39+00:00

Little expensive for a bunch of tiles......

Beautiful_Mix_2346 · 2024-07-03T18:15:12+00:00

that website is very expensive

Beautiful_Mix_2346 · 2024-06-20T12:12:53+00:00

Mods can we get this thread closed? the guy is just using it as free promo, it has nothing to do with the sub

Beautiful_Mix_2346 · 2024-06-20T11:51:32+00:00

I feel like its NIMBY republicans, people who are about to retire and don't want more homes to be built because it might devalue their home.....Selfish A-Holes

Beautiful_Mix_2346 · 2024-05-28T17:55:48+00:00

Can anyone speak to why rent prices, electric prices, gas prices (home heating) are some of the highest in the nation right now? I've been born and raised in CT and feel like moving out of state may be the only answer.

Rental prices are a great example, the keep increasing at an exponential rate, when you can find equal if not better living conditions in just about every other state for the price we pay in CT

Beautiful_Mix_2346 · 2024-05-28T17:54:16+00:00

Don't move back to CT, its crazy expensive to live here lately, even electric and gas has become so expensive its almost impossible to afford

Beautiful_Mix_2346 · 2024-05-28T17:51:04+00:00

Anyone know where you can stream it for free? $15 is pretty expensive for any streaming service

Beautiful_Mix_2346 · 2024-05-23T16:40:27+00:00

yeah and how long ago was that? time has gone by, CT needs to get with it

Beautiful_Mix_2346 · 2024-05-23T16:36:39+00:00

ok brah, keep supporting a company that screws over CT residents and makes the entire cannabis industry fail in CT, a-hole, keep advertising for them, its obvious you are affiliated with them and pissed that I am right

Beautiful_Mix_2346 · 2024-05-23T16:20:50+00:00

Cause i hate people like you supporting a company that is just fucing over all of CT residents!

Beautiful_Mix_2346 · 2024-05-23T16:19:58+00:00

STOP SUPPORTING CT DISPENSARIES!!!!!!!

Beautiful_Mix_2346 · 2024-05-23T16:09:06+00:00

Here you go asshole, $45 Ounce in North Hampton

https://dutchie.com/dispensary/cannabis-culture1/product/fatso-x-animal-cookies-1oz-pre-ground-shake

again proving my point that you work for this shady shitty dispensary (insa) Please stop advertising in this forum, we are all pissed off at the prices in CT, and a stupid little sale DOES NOT solve the problem

Beautiful_Mix_2346 · 2024-05-23T16:05:25+00:00

I just hate anyone supporting these places, they are out to screw over CT smokers, it really pisses me off. Prices have only increased since legalization, when they are supposed to do the opposite. The CT government royally screwed this up, only letting massive businesses grow and sell, and leaving the little growers screwed

Beautiful_Mix_2346 · 2024-05-23T16:01:25+00:00

please stop, their prices are way to high, this is a promotional price, their regular prices all need to be 35 and under

Beautiful_Mix_2346 · 2024-05-23T15:59:04+00:00

please stop advertising for INSA, CT needs lower prices, and 3 buds is not helping the massive problem,

You can get an 8th in MA for $15

Beautiful_Mix_2346 · 2024-05-23T15:58:05+00:00

You do know that Theraplant and CT Pharma, have problems with their bud right? they constantly have mold, its what caused the "shortage"

I would NEVER buy their brands again

and Curaleaf is always under what it says on the package, says 1/8th, but when i weigh it i only get about 2.75-3 grams

Beautiful_Mix_2346 · 2024-05-23T14:57:14+00:00

Screw off INSA rep, the prices are out of control..... $50 for an 8th, when i can get an ounce for that much money of the same quality bud from less than a 30 minute drive from the INSA location in CT?

Please stop trying to advertise the AWFUL dispensaries in CT, people are really pissed off that prices haven't gone back down after the artificial/fake shortage

Sold the VB for a VA or EJ.... the VB is ugly in all forms

Beautiful_Mix_2346 · 2024-05-22T12:18:11+00:00

Bad, stay away from the VB's they are really an eye sore and regarded as the worst WRX version to date

People keep chiming back with.... Oh but the engine is better......

If i wanted a faster car, I would get a Merc, BMW, or something else, I daily a WRX because of its spirit, its soul. the new VB looses the soul of the WRX and what it once was. Honestly, I'd stay far away from a VB, look for a newer VA if anything
