    Except that various ISP’s have been tracking such things for years, sometimes with very hard outcomes for torrenting users.

    I don’t know why Anna’s got involved in music, anyway. This was always going to be the approximate outcome, and it arguably wasn’t needed, anyway. Last I checked, one could simply download YT, Spotify material etc with a tool or two, easy-peasy. Why not leave such a hot-button issue alone…?

    Now, if Anna’s goes down, then a bunch of other material is lost that has vastly lesser (or zero) copyright issue. Some of that stuff I’m not sure you can find anywhere else online other than (maybe) torrents, or the equally-shaky LibGen.
