      Nah. It was great and we should see more of it.

      Stop being afraid to fight because your enemies might fight back.

        It was a big ball move for sure, but they should probably get their domain name game good now that they’re doing stuff like this

      It seems like overstretching the image of primarly-bookhunting piracy community. It could’ve been Anna’s Playlist or something. Next we’d hear the FitGirl’s name is Anya too.

      Having a resource with a distinct field of interest and set of challenges, foes, arguments makes way more sense to me. In public perception, stealing a book and stealing a CD, or a movie are waslty different cases, and being book-first was their natural advantage in claiming the high horse in every discussion.

        Like I dont get why they had to take credit for it. Like, fine, find an anonymous way to distribute and seed it initially, I just dont get why they felt like they needed to stamp their brand on it

          I guess, besides stupid pride and challenging copyright fuckos, it also whitelists these uploads as coming from a reputable source, shows that’s the community is alive and still kicking.
