          Assuming there is about 500.000 Annas in the US alone (according to Wolfram Alpha), good luck with that! :D

            Arrest all the Annas, when you have immunity, they let you do it if it is an official act.

    Good luck finding the owner, and also good luck shutting down their hundreds of torrents and thousands of peers (which will definitely never happen)

    5M to protect against scraping? That sounds… a bit much, no? 34 employees with that one task for 2 years doesn’t sound believable to me. Why is WorldCat worth anything anyway?

      Defendants, through the Anna’s Archive domains, have made, and continue to make, all 2.2 TB of WorldCat® data available for public download through its torrents,” OCLC wrote in the complaint it filed in an Ohio federal court.

      It was 2.2 TB that is nothing…
