Its a private-ish (interview required) bittorrent tracker for ebooks. Very different goals to IA/AA, who see the universality & ease of access as core to the mission. Its more like old-fashioned gated archives at universities & libraries that essentially tried to slow and limit access to their collections to avoid the issues that IA is coming against legally.
