Anna’s Archive Hit With $19.5m Default Judgment and Global Domain Takedown Order

A coalition of thirteen major publishers including Penguin Random House, Elsevier and HarperCollins has secured a $19.5 million default judgment against Anna's Archive, a shadow library offering free access to pirated books. The case was filed in a New York federal court and because the site's anonymous operators never appeared to defend themselves, U.S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff ruled entirely in the publishers' favor. The judgment was signed on May 19, 2026.

The penalty was calculated at the maximum statutory rate of $150,000 per infringed work across 130 titles. The publishers also argued that Anna's Archive was functioning as a primary source of training data for AI companies including Meta and NVIDIA. Collecting the $19.5 million however is considered essentially impossible. The operators remain anonymous citing fear of lengthy prison sentences and though the court ordered them to unmask themselves within ten days they are widely expected to ignore this. The award mirrors a similarly uncollectable $322 million judgment the music industry won against the same site in a related Spotify case.

The more consequential part of the ruling is the permanent injunction targeting the site's technical infrastructure. Because Anna's Archive routinely evades enforcement by cycling through domain names the injunction orders all domain registries and registrars to permanently disable the site's active domains and block their transfer. More than twenty companies are named including Cloudflare, Njalla, DDOS-Guard and the registries managing the site's current .gl, .pk and .gd domains.

Enforcement will be strongest against American companies within the court's jurisdiction. Most named intermediaries however are foreign entities that have historically ignored U.S. court orders. Notably unlike the Spotify music scrape which Anna's Archive voluntarily removed, the publisher's books remain actively available on the site making it harder for intermediaries to justify inaction. As of writing all three of the site's domains remain live and the operators are widely expected to have backup domains ready to deploy.

BHIM has started flagging Bitwarden

Till now, BHIM flagged power apps (such as Shizuku) and refused to operate unless the apps were deleted.

But now the water is rising above our heads.
It has started flagging Bitwarden, a well-known password manager, just because it has accessibility permission enabled.

A few months ago, Yono SBI refused to open because an accessibility service was enabled for Bitwarden. I posted my issue as a review on the Play Store and their team asked me to contact them via email. I sent a detailed mail with multiple screenshots, but they never replied. In the end, I switched to Yono Lite, which thankfully doesn't have such restrictions.

In the name of security, these Indian apps are closing the gates instead of making them more robust. Their logic is simple: leave no chance for modification on user's device so an attacker can never attack it.

As a young person, I prefer freedom and customizability on my device. I often use less popular apps (e.g., Shizuku, Bitwarden) that offer useful features. But due to these kinds of absurd restrictions, I face a dilemma: either prioritize my daily apps (Yono SBI, BHIM) or sacrifice these daily used apps for the customizability and freedom.

Apple has been charging me 1900rs every 2 weeks . What is this even?

I haven't even subscribed to anything except iqiyi .

I just noticed and that has been happening from August 2025! Omg

I use an android phone..i just have an ipad. Also I dont have apple TV + neither am I use apple music. I am so confused.

Added another screenshot from gpay. I was charged 4 times in May.

I will be canceling autopay. They better have an explanation for this cuz WTF!

Edit : Hey guys, I figured this out. So I had an app with montly subscription of 1900rs which expired in april.

Someone in comments posted about pre authorization limit. Itseems apple has been charging pre authorization limit even after that subscription ended and crediting it back same amount hence so many transactions in Google pay shows 1900 specifically 4 times in May. I downloaded bank account statement and I see same patterns of debit and credit.

I am glad I am not scammed or not hacked. I went ahead and canceled the autopay on Google pay.

Ngl I did see multiple 1900rs transaction throughout this month and didn't pay attention initially and today i noticed again was like what is even happening.

I agree autopay is something to be careful about. And i hope this post is a reminder for us all! Pheww

Thank you for your comments and advice !

Why would Apple charge pre authorization after subscription ended is a mystery in itself.

For anyone curious that app w subscription ended is called Azar🤣 you are welcome lol. Also I am a girl ..'Iqiyi' should have given it away as every woman on planet earth is watching Pursuit of Jade 🫠 Lovely to see bro comments

This might just be the WORST WEBSITE of all time

Is it just me or do these Indian educational websites and even the EPFO website have one of the worst UI and glitches? I've been trying to operate this website for 2 hrs but it keeps sending me back on the log in page even after the username and password is right, tried to operate it with other devices and a laptop yet the issue is still the same, they can't hire some good programmers or what we've to deal with this bullshit of a website

Guys help me out with liquid metal on my laptop (details in description)

Bit of history: My laptop, Acer Predator helios 16, came with liquid metal from factory but over time when i cleaned my laptop i replaced the liquid metal with thermal paste and thermal pads but my thermal pads were too thick that's why CPU n GPU couldn't make contact with the heat sink so I removed the pads from ICs and mosfets and used thermal paste everywhere.You can check out this post I made earlier, people suggested me to go back to liquid metal and I want to do that now.

When I removed liquid metal for the first time i remember there was a seal around the CPU to limit the flow of liquid metal outside it's bounds but that is wiped clean now(used isopropyl 😭) how to make that seal again? Does TG shield work for this use case? Does liquid metal go on GPU as well?

As of right now, I have thermal paste everywhere on GPU, CPU, ICs and Mosfets.

I'm thinking of getting thermal grizzly Conductonaut but do suggest if something exists.

Reset locked android Phone without losing data (Pics of my child)

I have been using IQOO Z7 Pro (Equivalent Vivo T2 pro) phone since more than 2 years. Around 1 month back, I changed my lock pattern way too frequently.

This led to me forgetting my phone pattern and locking my phone. I have tried multiple times to unlock/ remember the last pattern but with no luck.

I have been using my spare phone in the meantime.

Now the issue is that I never took backup of my phone and it has all the photos of my toddler right from his birth which I cannot afford to lose.

I searched on the internet but no luck there too except factory reset of phone which essentially means losing all data. It is killing me everyday

Can anybody help me unlock my phone or at-least let me have the data backup of my phone before factory reset. Phone is in working condition just that I am locked out.

Anticipating help from techies on reddit.
